Gems from Swami Chidbhavananda-1:

Affliction with anguish is a destructive force. It shatters the personality, clouds the understanding and ruins the talents. But the spiritual anguish has a toning effect on the character.

Defects, failures and disappointments in life are inevitable. But on that ground man should not sink in an endless sorrow. He is to outgrow anguish as quickly as possible. For it eats up the personality as a whole. Whereas the remorsefulness that one is not progressing in the act of self-perfection adds to one’s ethical growth.
