acquistitions. Mudhamati means a materialist, wholely

worldly-minded, who does not believe in God or the

spiritual entity that is in man,

The water droplet on the lotus leaf is tremulous

and unsteady. So too is life which is as uncertain.Know the body to be in the claws of disease,

which may swallow it at any moment. Life is

ultimately nothing but worry, misery and grief.

VRIDDHASTAAVAT CHINTHAASAKTHAHPARASE BRAHMANI KOPI NA SAKTHAH

Childhood skips off on sport and play. Youth flies off

in

pursuits of love-making. As one grows older he is

drowned

in worry about the security and future of his wife andchildren. One's whole life gets spent in some kind of

worry or other. And at no stage does man find time to

lift his thoughts to God.

The company of the good weans one awayfrom false atttachments; when attachment is

Day and night, dawn and dusk, winter andspring, all these are flitting across the stage of
