Vyasa said: 'This I knew in mind beforehand, O bulls among the Bharatas — how you were banished by the Dhartarashtras, established in unrighteousness. Knowing that, I have come, wishing to do the highest good; you must not despair here: all this is for your happiness.'

Here the sage consoles the afflicted with the light of providence. His foreknowledge is telling: Vyasa knew of their misfortune 'in mind beforehand' and came himself — the wise see what is hidden and hasten to the aid of the persecuted. Telling too is his word: 'all this is for your happiness' — what now seems calamity is, in the design of providence, turned to good. Herein lies the comfort of faith: for the devoted, even sorrows are a mercy leading to the highest good. It is telling that the unrighteousness of the Dhartarashtras is named plainly, yet it is not the final word: above the wrongdoing of men stands a benevolent providence. Thus the text reveals that despair has no place where providence is at work, turning evil into good.
