In English
We should try to live without being affected by joy and sorrow caused by birth and death of the body. No one weeps when he finds ice to be cold or when he is told that fire is hot. It is natural that ice is cold and fire is hot. In the same manner, death is natural for the body that is born. Why should one weep over that? We are becoming victims of sorrow by regarding a natural phenomenon as unnatural. The cause for this is attachment. Infatuation stems from the instinct to possess. By developing fondness for the phenomenal world, we are becoming unmindful of our Divinity.
