What is the unusual prayer mentioned in Chapter 22 that devotees are encouraged to ask of Sai?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 22

Chapter 22 introduces a profound and counterintuitive prayer for devotees. Instead of asking for happiness, the prayer asks for a "constant series of sorrows." The logic behind this unusual request is that through suffering and calamities, a person will not forget God's name, thus keeping them spiritually close. The passage states, "Give me a constant series of sorrows, so I do not forget Your name." The text then encourages the listener and speaker to ask this of Sai, so that His name becomes an "eternal ornament" on their necks and they are always kept at His feet, illustrating a deep desire for constant remembrance over worldly comfort.
