TIMELINE OF LIFE (SB 7.6.6-8)

<p>Chankya Pandit, a great politician says in his moral instructions:</p> <p>ā𝘺𝘶ṣ𝘢ḥ 𝘬ṣ𝘢ṇ𝘢 𝘦𝘬𝘰 ’𝘱𝘪,  𝘯𝘢 𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘩𝘺𝘢ḥ 𝘴𝘷𝘢𝘳ṇ𝘢-𝘬𝘰ṭ𝘪𝘣𝘩𝘪ḥ,</p> <p>Even a moment of one’s lifetime could not be returned in exchange for millions of dollars. Therefore one should consider how much loss one suffers if he wastes even a moment of his life for nothing. Living like an animal, not understanding the goal of life, one foolishly thinks that there is no eternity and that his life span of fifty, sixty, or, at the most, one hundred years, is everything. This is the greatest foolishness. Time is eternal, and in the material world, one passes through different phases of his eternal life. </p>
