IN SHORT Reaching lasting love frees you from returning to endless sorrow.
The world is named without flinching: a house of suffering and an impermanent one. Liberation is not relocation but the end of compelled return. Greatness of soul is measured here by having gone beyond return. Like finishing school exams for good instead of repeating the same class every year.
