Summary

This quote highlights the idea that sorrow and mourning over the absence of a higher power or God can be seen as a sign of deep love and commitment. It suggests that just as one experiences strong jubilation and joy when in the presence of a divine being, the longing and sadness felt in their absence can be equally profound. This perspective emphasizes the depth of one's relationship with a higher power and suggests that even during times of doubt or perceived absence, a sincere love and devotion can still be present.
