At all times when things seem to be unpleasant to the senses and ego, or when one seems to have acted out of not properly exercising one's buddhi , or when difficult or impossible circumstances seem to confront one for no fault of one's own, remember the root cause of all problems is one's birth- not just in this body, but of the aham vAsana that has resulted in so many embodiments.
The Yoga sutra says
Bhoga apavargArtham dRshyam.
The Seen is for experience and liberation.
Therefore in a Stoic way as Marcus Aurelius says in Meditations, bear all that life has to bring in a calm and unperturbed manner, confident in the knowledge that
Ishvarah yat karoti shobhanam eva karoti.
Whatever the Lord does is always auspicious.
