Pain and grief are Nature’s reminder to the
soul that the pleasure it enjoys is only a feeble
hint of the real delight of existence. In each
pain and torture of our being is the secret of
a flame of rapture compared with which our
greatest pleasures are only as dim flickerings. It
is this secret which forms the attraction for the
soul of the great ordeals, sufferings and fierce
experiences of life which the nervous mind in us
shuns and abhors.

— Sri Aurobindo
