Do not attach yourself
too much to the body or
to the things that bring comfort to it.
You earn three friends in this life:
The first: the riches you accumulate,
which refuse to come with you when
you move out of this life.
The second: the kith and kin who
accompany your body only up to
the burial ground or cremation ghat.
The third: the merit and demerit you have earned,
which accompany you to the last.
Do not attach yourself too much with the world,
for it is ever changing fast and furiously.
Be in the world, but do not let the world into you.
divinely sent
