Acharya Prashant explains that the source of suffering in the path of devotion is not about gaining pleasure but about the profound experience of losing oneself. He clarifies that while common people remain oblivious to their separation from the Truth, a saint is the only one who feels the intense agony of this separation. Ordinary individuals are often satisfied with material comforts and worldly possessions, suppressing any subtle sense of loss. In contrast, a saint is one who is truly awake and, therefore, experiences deep sorrow and weeping. The common image of a saint as always being cheerful and blissful is incorrect; a saint experiences a deeper pain than anyone else because they are conscious of what they are missing.
