Jagjot Singh explains the difference between sadness or depression we experience before and after spiritual awakening. Before awakening, the separate self or “me” is only identified with personal fulfilment, which is based on limited desires.
After awakening (conceptually speaking), there’s a change in perception as this separateness does not seem so real. Therefore, after awakening, we experience the dark night of the soul, which is different from what we experience before awakening.
