suffer, they go through great anxiety, uncertainty,
confusion, violence, through great sense of grief,
loss, loneliness, as each one of us does. There is
no division, psychologically, between us all. We
are the world, psychologically, and the world is us.
That is not a conviction, that is not a conclusion,
that is not an intellectual theory, but an actuality,
to be felt, to be realized and to be lived. Investigat-
ing this question of sorrow one is investigating not
only one’s own personal limited sorrow but also the
sorrow of mankind. Do not reduce it to a personal
thing, because when one sees the enormous suffer-
ing of mankind, in the understanding of the enor-
mity of it, the wholeness of it, then one’s own part
has a role in it. It is not a selfish enquiry concerned
with how I am to be free of sorrow. If one makes it
personal, limited, then one will not understand the
full significance of the enormity of sorrow.
