Word by Word
This verse reveals the hallmarks of true wisdom: a heart untethered from sensory cravings and an ego dissolving like morning mist. When you see clearly that birth, death, aging, and disease are woven into the fabric of embodied existence, you stop grasping at pleasure as your salvation.
This sobering vision is not meant to depress you—it frees you to seek what is eternal, unshaken by the body's inevitable decay.
