Passage 2

In English

“Salutations to the embodiment of time who causes everything to move,” said . Time is eternal. Time does not stop for the sake of anybody or anything. It is an incessant flow. Man has to follow time, and time will not follow anybody. “* shatendriya ayushye vendriye prati tishtati.*” Elders bless us in this manner. Man’s lifespan is presumed to be a hundred years. But there is no certainty about it. Because, – death is accompanying at all times. Every moment, the enemy called death along with the army called disease is invading the kingdom of the body. Then what is the point in presuming lifespan to be hundred years? It is not possible to bring back the moment that had passed away. Time is standard for everything. Time is the base for anything. It can make into a and a into . Countless aeons had merged into the womb of time. Seconds make minutes, minutes make hours, hours make days and days make years. Therefore, no one is capable of living beyond the purview of time. Having realized the importance of time, noble men of the past had endeavored to engage themselves in sacred deeds to sanctify the time. This is the reason why people of those days enjoyed peace and happiness a thousandfold compared to the present generation. They were selfless, egoless, and were simple. They always had liberation as the goal of their lives. In order to enjoy the same kind of peace and joy, we must strive to foster humanism first.
