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

Chapter 22 introduces a profound prayer, likened to that of Kunti, which asks God for a constant series of sorrows. The spiritual logic behind this request is that happiness can lead one to forget God, whereas a life of calamity ensures that one's mind remains focused on the divine. The prayer states, 'Give me a constant series of sorrows, so I do not forget Your name.' By enduring hardship, devotion becomes an 'eternal ornament.' The text encourages the listener and speaker to make this same appeal to Sai: to be kept at His feet through a state of constant remembrance, which sorrow is believed to facilitate more effectively than worldly happiness.
