“Whatever we see in the world, living or inert, are all as impermanent as things seen in a dream. The hollow desert that appears as the dried bed of a sea today will be found tomorrow to be a running flood. What today is a mountain reaching the sky is in course of time leveled to the ground, and afterwards is dug into a pit. The body that today is clothed with garments of silk, tomorrow is to be cast away naked into a ditch. What is seen to be a city today, passes in the course of a few days into an uninhabited wilderness. The man who is very powerful today, in a few days is reduced to a heap of ashes. The very forest that is so formidable today, with the passage of time turns into a city with its banners hoisted in the air. In time a formidable jungle of thick forests becomes a tableland like Mount Meru. Water becomes land, and land becomes water. Thus the world with all its contents becomes something else in course of time.” — 1.28.1-9

“The days of great men, their glories and deeds, are retained only in our memories and in a short time, such must be with us also. Many things are decaying and renewing day-by-day. In this ever-changing world there is no end to this accursed course of events. Men degenerate into lower animals, and those again rise to humanity. Gods become non-gods. There is nothing that remains the same. Riches and relatives, friends, servants and wealth are of no pleasure to him who is in constant dread of death. All these are delightful to a sensible man only so long as the monster of death does not appear before the eye of his mind. We have prosperity at one moment, succeeded by adversity at another. We have health at one time, followed by sickness soon after. What intelligent being is there who is not misled by these delusions of the world which show things other than what they are and serve to bewilder the mind?” — 1.28.17-19,23-26

“The mind that gets delighted one moment, becomes dejected in the next, then assumes its equanimity at another is indeed as changeful as an actor. The creator, who in his work of creation is ever turning one thing into another, is like a child who makes and breaks his doll without concern. The actions of producing and harvesting, of feeding and destroying, come by turns to mankind like the rotation of day and night. Neither adversity nor prosperity is of long duration with worldly people. They are ever subject to appearance and disappearance by turns. Time is a skillful player and plays many parts with ease. But he is chiefly skilled in tragedy and he often plays his tragic part in the affairs of men. All beings, according to their past good and bad deeds, are produced like fruit in the great forest of the universe. Time like a gust of wind blasts them day-by-day before their maturity.” — 1.28.38-43
