God is with the broken hearted

At the very moment you become content with affliction, the doors of paradise will open. Nothing is more blessed than heartache, for its reward has no end. If you do not show your manliness, you will find nothing. I will be silent, lest a mistake jump from my mouth. -Rumi

 Man in his heartache resembles a target for arrows--he has no armor but intoxication and selflessness. -Rumi

 Though heartache may extract many things from the heart, in truth it will bring something better in return. -Rumi

 "Joys" we normally experience are torments because they keep us far from God. God makes him suffer so he will abandon attachment to himself and strive to attain to Self. -Chittick
