The beginning of the story of Amir Shakkar mentions a particular prayer for calamities. What is this prayer and its purpose?

The text in Chapter 22 introduces a profound and seemingly paradoxical prayer. The prayer is articulated as: "O Lord God, give happiness to others who ask for it; Give me a constant series of sorrows, so I do not forget Your name." The purpose of this unusual request is to ensure that the devotee's remembrance of God remains constant and unwavering. By asking for sorrows, the devotee seeks to have God's name as an "eternal ornament" on their neck, preventing them from ever forgetting Him. The chapter concludes this thought by encouraging both the listener and the speaker to ask this of Sai: "Let us not forget Your name; keep us at Your feet."
