We are Living, Only Due to the Remaining Life-Breaths

The remaining life-breaths are quickly getting exhausted while indulging in sense pleasures. We are being devoured by the pleasures, more so than us enjoying the sense pleasures. The more that we indulge, the more we become addicted to alcohol, tobacco, women, caffein, etc. Our life force is weakened and drained by these dependencies. These habits are all extremely toxic and poisonous, as they ruin our health.

“Pan paraag” (a mixture of chewing tobacco) has all kinds of things in it that you simply cant even imagine. There are lots of gross things that are mixed into “paan” as well that most people who eat them are not even aware of what ingredients are included. All these additives things are added, only for increasing sales. The irony is that the money will remain right here, but those who are engaged in such practices, will suffer grave sins.

If we live a disciplined life we can pace out our life-breaths. We are living only because of the remaining life-breaths. Our remaining time to live, our remaining years are rapidly decreasing. Our greatest wealth is getting exhausted quickly. We can do so many things when healthy. We can earn, we can gain knowledge, we can attain God, we can do so much. But with money we cannot get back our life. In the end of their lives people say that it took us 60 years to earn 60 crores rupees. They say –

– Give me 60 more weeks to live in exchange for my 60 crores ! …..
– If not 60 weeks, give me 60 more days to live in exchange for my 60 crores ! …..
– If not 60 days give me 60 hours, to live in exchange for my 60 crores ! …..
– If not 60 hours, give me 60 more minutes, to live in exchange for my 60 crores ! …..
– If not 60 minutes, give me 60 more seconds to live in exchange for my 60 crores ! …..

NOTHING! Not even a second more will you get in return for the 60 crore rupees.
