We need to reassure ourselves, that no matter how many ever times we face a fall while treading the path of spirituality (be it physically, mentally or intellectually), we should bounce back without self-condemnation. This would be possible only if we replace our lower worldly thoughts by higher divine thoughts. For example, suppose a man falls down and suffers internal injury which he ignores, then the same injury may surface some years later with more troubles. It would have done him much good had he addressed the problem then and there.

To rise up from dejections and rejections when things do not go our way, we must take shaastras as our pramaan and rise ourselves to higher thoughts. Like when a child falls, it is the doctor who makes him realize that the pain is because he had fallen long time ago.
