Quotes about Sorrow by Adi Shankara
What delusion, what sorrow, can there be for him who beholds that oneness [of the jiva and Brahman]?
There is sorrow in finitude. The Self is beyond time, space and objects. It is infinite and hence of the nature of absolute happiness.
Each thing tends to move towards its own nature. I always desire happiness which is my true nature. My nature is never a burden to me. Happiness is never a burden to me, whilst sorrow is.
