The answer is: Amit's thoughts are confused and contradictory.

In the passage, the metaphor about the river and the waves crashing represents Amit's feeling of turmoil and perplexity. After Tamar tells him her secret, he wishes that has not happened, since his thoughts are now a constant succession of conflict and perturbation.
