I am very proud to possess all the 9 volumes of this collection.
I am in very initial phase of reading its volume 2 (it doesn't mean that I have finished vol 1, I have not read vol 1 at all :) and what I have understood from this is that the sufferings will last as long as we have life. It ends only when the life ends. And the only way to end suffering forever is to attain Moksha(i.e, no life after this life).
