"Life is like a candle. Once lit, it will continue to be shortened.
As you age, your life span becomes shorter. The number increases –now you are 40 or 50 years old, but the remaining years of your life continue to be shorter. The remaining time to practice in line with the Path (magga) gradually decreases.
Do not waste time. You should get on with this. Relieve yourself from worldly affairs.
Do away with whatever is not essential. Commit yourself to this work of mental development. This kind of work is genuine, leading you to the cessation of suffering while endless worldly work takes you nowhere."
“My Way.”
