ignoramus, at the time of death the rules of grammer,
which you are trying to cram and master, will not be ableto rescue you at all.

acquistitions. Mudhamati means a materialist, wholely
worldly-minded, who does not believe in God or the
spiritual entity that is in man,

The water droplet on the lotus leaf is tremulous
and unsteady. So too is life which is as uncertain.Know the body to be in the claws of disease,
which may swallow it at any moment. Life is
ultimately nothing but worry, misery and grief.

Childhood skips off on sport and play. Youth flies off
in
pursuits of love-making. As one grows older he is
drowned
in worry about the security and future of his wife andchildren. One's whole life gets spent in some kind of
worry or other. And at no stage does man find time to
lift his thoughts to God.

he sleeps by holding his chin on his knee ( because the back
is bent and he cannot stretch himself and lie down). Yet, hedoes not let and allow the grip of desires on him looseneven a bit.
