This too shall pass is Dharma. If you understand it in the context of this conversation, in the context of this chapter, in the context of the Mahayana Sutras of the Bodhisattva path, we first got to get chill and the thing is if you can't get it down we have to learn to somehow back up and be observant of the freight train as it's going. Even if it won't stop. Because in reality of the mind, you're really never going to stop it.
