Passage 8

In English

“This fragile human body consists of the five elements. No one knows when he would have to drop such a feeble frame. The scholars say, the life expectancy of a human being is one hundred years; but, that cannot be taken for granted. No one knows when he would die––whether in the childhood or in youth or in the old age; similarly, whether in the town or in the forest or in the midst of water. But, death is certain for a human being. Hence, one must be wise enough to realise his true nature, while he is still alive. This is the truth revealed by .” (Telugu poem)
