Life and body are fickle like lightening
Life and body
Life is momentary. It is not sure that the breath, which is being exhaled, will also come back or not. This life is as fickle as lightening.

Pān̄ca īndriyō pōṣē isakō,
mana haiṁ īsakā nāha.

His bonds of delusion dropping away, again he reflected thus: “Alas! these people, overcome by sense-objects, do not know their own good.
