Tejomoyee Ma says people should be grateful for the pain and hurt that comes their way from worldly relationships. For these experiences give rise to detachment, and detachment is necessary to discover and realize the Self, Atman, or God.
Relationships in the world are all conditional to one degree or another. People typically seek relationships because they need something in return, and once they don't get it or no longer need it, they lose interest in the other person. This break in attachment causes great heartache and misery. However, from a spiritual standpoint, this is good because it helps the person realize the impermanence of the world and get detached from it.
Tejomoyee Ma explains that the more attached we are to other people, the further away we actually are from the Truth, the Self, or God. And the less attached we are to worldly people and things, the closer we are to the Truth. So Bhagavan explained that being hurt in the world will actually help you go towards the goal. And we should be grateful to the people who hurt us. It is beneficial in the long-run. Know for sure that all worldly attachments will one day give you pain.
(Editor further notes) that Holy Mother Sarada Ma once said "Always do your duty to others, but love you must give to God alone. Worldly love always brings in its wake untold misery."
