sorrows surface again and again with redoubled vigour

 



दुःखं त्यक्तुं बद्धमूलोऽनुरागःस्मृत्वा स्मृत्वा याति दुःखं नवत्वम्
यात्रा त्वेषा यद् विमुच्येह बाष्पं प्राप्तानृण्या याति बुद्धिः प्रसादम् ॥९॥ स्वप्रवासवदतम् ४.६

duḥkhaṃ tyaktuṃ baddhamūlo'nurāgaḥsmṛtvā smṛtvā yāti duḥkhaṃ navatvam
yātrā tveṣā yad vimucyeha bāṣpaṃ prāptānṛṇyā yāti buddhiḥ prasādam ॥9॥ svapravāsavadatam 4.6

It is indeed very difficult to get relieved for ever from the the sorrows arising out of deep rooted affection and attachment. Such sorrows surface again and again with redoubled vigour as one thinks over the issue repeatedly. It is a widely believed fact of life that one’s heart becomes lighter and the mind gets somewhat comforted when one sheds a lot of tears or cries his heart out..
From Svapnavasavadattam of Bhasa
