The text mentions a prayer asking for calamities instead of happiness. What is the spiritual reasoning behind this strange request?

Chapter 22 presents a profound spiritual concept through a prayer. A woman who suffered greatly prayed to God not for happiness, but for a "constant series of sorrows." The reasoning she provides is that through sorrow, she would never forget God's name. In her view, remembrance of God was the "eternal ornament" for her neck, and she feared that happiness might lead her to forget Him. The text then extends this lesson, suggesting that listeners and speakers should ask Sai to keep them at His feet and never let them forget His name. The underlying principle is that adversity can serve as a powerful tool for maintaining constant spiritual focus and devotion.
