Why is there so much melancholy in my life?

"Meditation is the lamp that dispels the darkness of melancholy; when you light it within, the aching sense of separation dissolves, and bliss naturally flowers."
According to Osho, melancholy visits every life until self-realization—the finding of the Divine. Don’t analyze sadness; that’s psychology’s route. Religion’s remedy is direct: meditate. As with darkness, you don’t study it—you light a lamp. Withdraw energy from the mind and gather it in meditation; when the inner lamp is lit, the aching sense of separation dissolves, wholeness returns, and bliss naturally flowers.
Feeling sad is normal until you find your true self; instead of figuring out why it’s dark inside, just turn on the light by sitting quietly and meditating.
