Atman: An Introduction To Suffering

It leads to the conclusion that war is inevitable, that mankind is doomed
That we are gripped by forces we cannot control
We need not accept that view, our problems are man-made
Therefore, they can be solved by man
And man can be as big as he wants
No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings
Man's reason and spirit have often solved the seemingly unsolvable
And we believe they can do it again

And our own fortune with the uncrumpling determination of our people
We will bring the inevitable triumph, so help us God

I am all, and I was made to suffer
I will watch as everything that I love dies
I am one, and I was ground down to nothing
