Try this today

Notice one situation today whose purpose you do not know, and leave room for that uncertainty rather than assuming an explanation.

Ask yourself

Can I acknowledge that a purpose may remain unknown to me?

Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.

The study points are short summaries drawn from Śrīla Prabhupāda's translation and purport; the practice and question are plain words for trying the verse today.
