Life in the world is
unpredictable and uncertain.
Life is difficult, short
and fraught with suffering.
Being born, one has to
die; this is the nature of the world.
With old age there is
death; this is the things are.
When fruit is ripe, it
may drop early in the morning.
In the same way, one who
is born may die at any moment.
Just as all pots made by
all the potters End in being broken, So it is with the life
of all who are born. Neither young nor old,
foolish or wise will escape the trap of
death. All move towards death. They are overcome by
death. They pass on to another
world.
A father cannot save his
son or a family its members. Look! With relatives
watching, with tears and crying, Men are carried off one
by one, like cattle to the
slaughter.
So, death and aging are
a natural part of the world. Thus, the wise grieve
not, seeing the nature of the world.
