We have thought the worldly life is constant, and have lost it thoroughly because of this thought. This unbounded life too flies like the wind. An arrogant man who relies on himself and supposes he will live for ever, will certainly die. He advances toward death speedily. The world too, which is man s house, falls into the darkness of annihilation.
Ambitions are time-bounded, but pains endure in the spirit.
Consider that while the firefly relies on its own dim light and always remains in the boundless darkness of the night, the honey-bee finds the sun of daytime and observes its friends, the flowers, gilded with the sunlight because it does not rely on itself. In just the same way, if you rely on yourself and your being, your own self-confidence, you will be like the firefly. Dedicate it, for your being, your body, is a Divine trust to you. For a negation negated is an affirmation. The All-Munificent Creator buys His own property from you.
