Summary

One should next consider the causes of sorrow. And about this point, four queries are raised. (1) Whether the cause of pain is a good that has been lost, or rather a conjoined evil. (2) Whether desire is a cause of pain. (3) Whether the appetite for unity is a cause of pain. (4) Whether a power that cannot be resisted is a cause of pain.
