The World’s Sorrow and Pain Will Disappear — Sri Aurobindo

What then to say of the holy Brahmins and devoted king-sages; having come to this transient and unhappy world, do thou turn to Me and worship Me.

Chapter 9, Shloka 33, Bhagavat Gita.

The earthly world preoccupied with the dualities and bound to the immediate transient relations of the hour and moment is fine for man, so long as he dwells here attached to these things and while he accepts the law they impose on him for the law of his life, a world of struggle, suffering and sorrow. The way to liberation is to turn from the outward to the inward, from the appearance created by the material life which lays its burden on the mind and imprisons it in the grooves of the life and the body to the divine Reality which waits to manifest itself through the freedom of the spirit. Love of the world, the mask, must change into the love of God, the Truth. Once this secret and inner Godhead is known and is embraced, the whole being and the whole life will undergo a sovereign uplifting and a marvelous transmutation. In place of the ignorance of the lower nature absorbed in its outward works and appearances the eye will open to the vision of God everywhere, to the unity and universality of the spirit. The world’s sorrow and pain will disappear in the bliss of the All-blissful; our weakness and error and sin will be changed into the all-embracing and all-transforming strength, truth and purity of the Eternal.
