## The One Hundred and Eleventh Chapter
Even though it is so long-winded, it has not been established in self-welfare. ||13|| Those who destroy lust and sorrow do not have peace even for a moment, because death, who keeps his feet near their heads, always waits for an opportunity. ||14|| For this perishable body, which is destroyed in a moment, what does this lowly creature, who is a slave to worldly desires, not do? ||15|| The one who knows that life is impermanent, renounces all possessions and does not engage in self-interest, is destroyed in a state of unfulfilled desires. ||16|| What is the use of a thousand scriptures if the soul does not find peace? Even one step is enough to attain peace and contentment. ||17|| Just as a crow with broken wings desires to fly in the sky but does not put in the effort, similarly, this being desires to do good deeds but does not put in the effort as required. ||18|| If a person without effort were to obtain what he desires, then there would be no one in the world who is deprived or poor. ||19|| The one who gives food and other things to a guest, a virtuous person, and a guru, and who acts according to the guru's words, never suffers. ||20||
**Aryan Hymn**
The life of a person whose heart is troubled by hundreds of different businesses, and who experiences sorrow every day, is lost like a jewel held in the palm of the hand. ||21||
Thus ends the One Hundred and Eleventh Chapter of the Padma Purana, composed by the Acharya Sri Ravishena, known as the Arsha, which describes the journey to the other world from the Bhamandala. ||111||
