    Remember all ye that existence is pure joy; that all the sorrows are but as shadows; they pass & are done; but there is that which remains."

    So existence is pure joy......but.....etc"......so therefore existence isn't pure joy due to the conjunction"but"?

    Wrong use of "but." In this context, "it means "only." It's an adverb here, not a conjunction.

    As if it said: "Remember that existence is pure joy; [and] that all the sorrows are only as shadows..."
