The story of Amir mentions a prayer for calamities instead of happiness. What's the spiritual logic behind asking for sorrow?

The source text references a prayer, attributed to Kunti, that provides a profound spiritual perspective. As explained in Chapter 22, she prayed to God for a constant series of sorrows rather than happiness. The logic behind this seemingly strange request was so that she would never forget God's name. The idea is that in times of hardship and sorrow, one is more likely to remember and call upon the divine. By asking for calamities, she sought to ensure that God's name would be an "eternal ornament" on her neck, a constant companion through a life of remembrance. The author encourages devotees to ask the same of Sai.
