Sorrow

That steadfastness by which a dull-witted person does not release sleep, fear, grief, despondency, and arrogance — that steadfastness, O Partha, is tamasic.

For I see nothing that could drive away the grief that is withering my senses — not an unrivalled, prosperous kingdom on earth, nor even lordship over the gods.

Sanjaya said: Having spoken thus on the battlefield, Arjuna sank down upon the seat of the chariot, setting aside his bow and arrows, his mind overwhelmed with sorrow.

In that inner serenity, all sorrows dissolve away for this person. Indeed, for one with a clear and tranquil mind, the intellect quickly becomes firmly grounded.

The person who possesses such a soul can never be defeated by sorrow or pain. They are as pure as the gods, high-minded, and wise, with no secrets hidden from them.

A poet says, 'Whether your sorrow or mine, sorrow has the same definition. Whether your tears or mine, tears have the same language.'

The self is finer than the finest and larger than the largest. It hides in the secret heart of every creature. When a person relinquishes their will and overcomes sorrow, they behold the self. Purified from mental elements, they see the greatness of their own being.

When someone possesses the three flames of Nachiketas and understands the triple nature of reality, they behold the flame of Nachiketas. This allows them to overcome the cycle of death and cast aside their sorrow, ultimately rejoicing in heaven.

In heaven, there is no fear at all. Death and old age do not exist there, and the soul can cross over hunger and thirst as if they were rivers, leaving sorrow behind and rejoicing.

Through self-realization of Brahman as our true self, we discover the divine energy that lifts us beyond the limitations, weaknesses, and sorrows of our mortal existence.

To achieve true freedom and perfect immortality, one must revisit and properly utilize the things that were previously rejected, including death, sorrow, and ignorance.

The rule of divine life is to renounce all desires to attain universal enjoyment. This is achieved through self-realization, recognizing one's true being as the free and transcendent Self, also known as Sachchidananda, and seeing the universe as Sachchidananda's manifestation, obtained through right knowledge and not ignorance, which leads to attraction, repulsion, delusion, and sorrow.

This realization is the perfect and complete state of Beatitude, which encompasses action but is free from sorrow and self-delusion.

Ananda is a state of supreme bliss, the joy of pure conscious existence and energy, as opposed to a life controlled by external sensations and emotions, which are subject to the whims of life and matter, and their positive and negative reactions, such as joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain.

The one in whom the Self has become all existences and has perfect knowledge, how can he be deluded or experience sorrow when he sees oneness everywhere?

By your grace, my lord, doubt, sorrow, error, and delusion have vanished from my heart

A spiritual guide who takes their disciple's money but doesn't help them overcome their sorrow will face severe punishment.

The Lord, being merciful to the afflicted, placed His lotus hand on my head and freed me from all sorrow.

Because pride is the root of the cycle of birth and death, and it is the cause of all types of pain and every form of sorrow.

They are the source of kindness and other virtues. They feel sad when they see others in distress and are happy when they see others happy. They are calm, and they don't consider anyone as their enemy. They are free from pride and passion, and they have control over greed, anger, joy, and fear. They are gentle and compassionate towards those in distress, and they have pure devotion to me in their thoughts, words, and actions. They show respect to everyone and are humble themselves. I love such people as I love my own life. They have no personal interests, but they are dedicated to my name and are full of peace, calmness, humility, and good humor.
