Passage 5

In English

It is a common practice to indicate the date of return with letters painted on the railway goods wagons. Similarly, the human body is given a date of return written in invisible letters. It has to return one day or the other to its place of origin. But, few make an effort to realise this truth. The wagon called this human body has to return to its place of origin on a particular day at a particular moment. It is the duty of a human being to make an effort to realise that truth and be prepared to reach his final abode, even before the body sets out on its return journey. The mind and its haunt a person from one birth to the other. Hence, a man of wisdom is expected to sublimate his intellect and develop the power of discrimination.
