According to Osho, suffering is spiritually fruitful: asking for sorrow affirms love of God over personal happiness, making you incapable of leaving the Divine. Unlike fleeting, shallow happiness, sorrow has depth and duration; it polishes, refines, and deepens the being. When borne in love, even sorrow becomes a kind of joy, revealing that what comes from the Divine is bliss, not punishment.
Hard times help you grow deep and stay close to love, while chasing only happy moments keeps you shallow.
