.Itcan only help you to forget it, to evade it, to postpone it; but stillthe sense of sorrow is there.So, please come forward this evening as two individuals, not asgroups of people trying collectively to think about it; come forwardas two individuals and look at this problem of sorrow withoutintroducing the process of time as a means to understanding, toresolving.In other words, can we see this problem of entirety? It isonly so when we see something completely, wholly integrally,there is a possibility of its dissolution, and not other wise.Thepossibility of this dissolution does not lie through the process ofwhat we call the mind, the reason, the thought.That is why I saidwe must understand that word `understanding; we must grasp thesignificance of that word.I think if we can do that, perhaps weshall get to the root of the problem of sorrow.If I would understand something, first I must love it.Must Inot? I must have communion with it.I must have no barrier.Theremust be no resistance.There must be no apprehension, no fear, which translate themselves into condemnation, justification or aprocess of identification.I hope you are following all this.Forgetthe words for the moment; the words I am using need not have anyvalue for you; keep in contact, in communion with what I amsaying, the spirit of it, which is not mere verbalization.Tounderstand something, there must be love.If I would understandyou, I must love you, I must have no prejudice.We know all thesethings.You say `I have no prejudice'.But all of us are a bundle ofprejudices, antagonisms; and we put on verbal screens.Let usremove this screen and see what the significance of sorrow is.Ifeel that, only through that way, we shall resolve this enormouslycomplex problem of sorrow.So, understanding requires communion; understanding requiresa mind that is capable of perceiving the unknown, the unnameable;be cause a mind that wishes to understand something, must itselfbe quite still, which is not a state of recognition.If there is to beunderstanding there must be communion, which means love, notonly at one particular level but at all levels.When we lovesomebody, it is a process of timeless quality.You can't name it.There is no barrier of fear, of reward, of condemnation; nor is thereidentification with somebody else - which is a mental process.Ifwe can really see the significance of that word, then we can go intothe problems of suffering.If there is that feeling of communion, ofreally loving that problem which we call sorrow, then we shall beable to understand it fully; otherwise we shall merely run awayfrom it, find various escapes.So, let us, if we can, put ourselves inthat position.Only then, we can understand what is called sorrow.There should be no mental barrier, no prejudice, no condemnation, no justification through tradition.Then we can approach, you and Ias individuals, this thing that is consuming most of us, sorrow.Energy in movement, in action, is desire.Is it not? That desirewhen thwarted is pain, and that desire in fulfilment is pleasure.Formost of us, action is a process of fulfilment of desire."I want" and"I don't want" govern our attitude.That energy which is canalized,identified as the `me' through desire, is ever seeking a fulfilment.Desire in its movement, in its action, is a process of fulfilment ordenial.There are various forms of fulfilment and various forms ofdenial likewise, each binding, each bringing about different kindsof sorrow.When there is sorrow, there are various forms ofresolution of it, various forms of escapes from it.We know sorrow at different levels.Don't we? Physical sorrow,physical pain, sorrow of death, sorrow that comes when there is nofulfilment, sorrow resulting from a state of emptiness, sorrow thatcomes when ambition is not fulfilled, sorrow in not coming up tothe standard or the good example, sorrow of the ideal and finallysorrow of identification
