A devotee always wants to remain in the proximity of his Lord and wishes away all those things which may drift him away. 

Very often some sort of grief or dissatisfaction marks the beginning of our spiritual quest. On the way there comes a point when life offers us the exact antidote of our misery to make us worldly happy. The seeker however should be careful to not stop at that point because bliss is his destination not just happiness. It is not to rebuff the achievement of fame, wealth, priesthood etc but these can never be taken as yardsticks of our spiritual progress. One has to, in fact, cross over them to achieve what soul is wishing for.
