Guest guest Posted September 3, 1999 Report Share Posted September 3, 1999 >From other list: 100 verses on renunciation Verse #49 The life of man is limited to one hundred years. Half of it is spent in night and out of the other half, one-half again is passed in childhood and old age. The rest has its illness, bereavements and trouble spent in serving others. What happiness can there be for mortals in a life which is even more uncertain than the ripples on the surface of water? Very beautifully delineated here, the tiny amount of time one really has at one's disposal. Does it not whip the fire of determination for this spiritual journey! There IS no time to waste!
