All worldly pursuits have but one unavoidable and inevitable end, which is sorrow: Acquisitions end in dispersion; buildings in destruction; meetings in separation; births in death. Knowing this one should, from the very first, renounce acquisition and heaping up, and building and meeting, And, faithful to the commands of an eminent guru, set about realizing the Truth, which hath no birth or death. That alone is the best science.
