Spiritual Aspect: Sorrow

The only thing you must remember is how fortunate you are. When you forget this you become sad.

Sorrow indicates:
1) your attachment to negative qualities, and
2) your attachment to positive qualities.

Your negative qualities make you sad. And when you think you are so great, you start blaming other; this also makes you become sad. The purpose of sorrow is to bring you back to the self, which is all joy. But this realization is possible only through Knowledge - awareness. Knowledge, the sorrow does not get completed and instead multiplies. Knowledge complete sorrow.
Only this path you have everything. This beautiful knowledge is complete with all flavors in it: wisdom, laughter, service, silence, singing, dancing, celebration, complaints(!), problem(!), complication(!),and chaos to add spice.

Life is so colorful!

-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
