BEWARE!

Alas! Life is waning away every moment, like water kept in an unbaked pot of clay. Diseases, like enemies, are assailing the body on every side. Old age is troubling. Death is ever on the watch to swallow you. It is awaiting its time to devour you.
May you all attain the state of complete mental detachment! May you all, while performing your prescribed duties in the respective station of life, attain the state of perfection or final beatitude!

From "Daily Sayings" by Swami Sivananda (1987-1963). More Informations on Swami Sivananda: on the Website of Divine Life Society, Photographs of Swami Sivananda, German Pages on Swami Sivananda
