Meaning
This reads as a plain statement of Buddhist practice, that the point is not doctrine for its own sake but understanding what causes distress and reducing it. It can be taken to mean that insight and relief belong together, and it lands in any situation where someone is trying to make sense of recurring pain instead of just enduring it.
