TulsidasJi said: your heart feels pain twice, when you see the enemy and when you see the dear one d
The heart experiences two fundamental sorrows. One sorrow arises from the presence of an adversary, causing inner pain. The other sorrow arises from the separation from a beloved, which also causes inner pain. These are the two primary afflictions of the heart according to the teaching. The pain is intrinsic to these two relational conditions. Observing an enemy triggers distress. Witnessing a dear one leave triggers distress. This is the dual nature of heartache. It is a concise spiritual observation on human suffering. The focus is solely on these two causes.
"When you see the enemy, then you feel the pain in the heart."
"Or when you see the dear one departing, then you feel the pain in the heart."
