==============================
“God is with the brokenhearted.” That's true. It is said in the traditions, “God is with the brokenhearted.” Don’t be mistaken. This does not mean that God dislikes a happy heart. What if I say that God loves a happy heart more? Will you accept this from me? If a person is happy due to being satisfied with God, his prayers will be accepted more. [One might say,] “But it’s said that the prayers of a person who is brokenhearted are answered.” Yes, that is true. But you see… What can I say?
Imam Hasan Mujtaba (as) has talked about when you are completely satisfied with God in your heart! Look deep inside your heart. Are you satisfied? Try to do it right now, my friends. Everyone try to make his or her heart pleased with God right now. Imam Hasan (as) talked about when you are deeply pleased with God. As a result of this, a person becomes happy. Right now, smile due to your satisfaction with God. Your current state is the state when prayers are answered. Imam Hasan Mujtaba (as) said that whatever you pray for in this situation, he guarantees it will be answered.
[God says,] “Come to Me when you’re brokenhearted. I will fix the broken heart. Come to Me when you’re sad. I will remove your sadness.” Don’t be mistaken! God doesn’t mean to go to Him when you are upset at Him! You should be happy with God! Yes, God loves someone who is brokenhearted. Yes, a broken heart has no refuge but God! If God rejects such a person, where can he go? Obviously, God loves the brokenhearted. But this does not mean that you should try to break your heart in this sense! If your happiness is due to your satisfaction with God, your prayers will be answered better.
Let me give an example. If a child has been beaten, will his mother hug and fondle him? So we should beat the child and give him to his mother! [You will tell me,] “No! What are you saying?! A mother prefers you to give a flower to her child.” God, the Almighty, bestows favors on His servants when they are happy. On a wedding night, prayers are answered [according to the traditions]. When it’s raining, your heart is happy and your prayers are answered. Why? Because you are feeling good.
If a person is happy due to being satisfied with God, his prayers will be accepted more. [One might say,] “But it’s said that the prayers of a person who is brokenhearted are answered.” But this does not mean that you should try to break your heart in this sense! If your happiness is due to your satisfaction with God, your prayers will be answered better.
