The deepest pain a person goes through is when their love is unrequited. While all kinds of pain has a place in its world. Unless one loses the one they have loved they would never experience the darkness of what pain can be . It is a thousand fold more painful than any unrequited love.
That's why our Lores try to capture this essence in the pain of Shiva losing Sati. The agony is immeasurable and can drive one through madness. No unrequited love can compare this grief.
When you can't love the only person you adore to your hearts content,pamper and spoil them you know what happens. There will be no meaning in life. To continue living is the biggest struggle and curse.
The brilliant song by Bill Withers - Ain't no sunshine captures the essence of this state accurately.
The world is a hazy black-and-white white without that person.
I know, I know, I know, I gotta leave that thing alone but ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
Such a broken hearted lover would choose to take refuge in higher purpose of life, wanting to leave this world and transcend to higher dimensions. If they have the seed of adhyatma or spiritual essence in them.They will try and find bliss or anand in life back bcos ain't no sunshine now! And that means having almost no desire left that your heart needs to fulfill. To get to samadhi level one's desires must be almost nil.
Hence, after Lord Shiva let go's Devi sati physical body.He goes into very deep samadhi ,vairagya and in an observer mode as Nishkal Bhairav observes the world without participating in it.
An ascetic with a higher level of chetana feels the same level of longing , misery towards that God or param shiv he has separated from and feels vairagya or dispassion in doing mundane things and goes inward. I believe they too sing that song for That Param shiv tattva or rudra.
Aint no sunshine when he's gone, only darkness everyday.
All my knowledge is because of My Guru Kaulantak Nath Ishaputra, without whom there is no sunshine in my life.
