Ajahn Dhammasiha explains the emotion of Saṃvega = Spiritual Shock/Spiritual Urgency.
When we encounter Dukkha/Pain/Loss/Disappointment, the resulting sadness can make our heart dark and depressed.
However, it's also possible to turn the pain we experience into a powerful motivation to practise the Buddha Dhamma with even more commitment and dedication, to ultimately free our heart from all suffering in the experience of the Deathless/Nibbāna.
