Summary

Can the enormous river of sorrow be ended? If it ends, what is the result on society?

Is it a fact that we are not individuals?

I am the result of thought, experience and knowledge stored up in memory. I am the result of thousands of generations.

The sorrow of the individual is a fragmentary sorrow. That which is fragmented has not the tremendous energy of the whole.

It is not only I who suffer; mankind suffers.

Am I so enclosed that I refuse to see what is happening outside of me?

Remain with something completely. If the brain remains completely with fear, it is gone.

When sorrow has completely ended then there is compassion.

Sorrow is the stream. Remain with the stream, don't be of it, or on it, under it or over it, just remain with the stream without any movement, because any movement is the cause of sorrow.
