Nothing is lost

Siddhartha continues to listen to the river. He hears the voices of his youth, of all the people he had cared about and lost. He hears the voice flow to the sea, sees the river water become vapor, rise up to the sky and fall again as rain and dew. He sees that no thing and no one is lost.
Excerpted from 'If you meet Buddha on the road, kill him!' by Sheldon Kopp

this might lead to a simpler meaning explaining the effect of subconscious memeory . moving to another level it can be explained as the permanent effect of all the past memories on your future being & behavior. But as it concerns buddha I suspect this is altogether in a upper echeleon than what I have mentioned
