The Sutra-Kritanga Sutra states that one suffers alone. Relatives cannot lessen or eliminate one's suffering. When a being's lifespan is destroyed, fulfilled, or ends due to the causes of action, and death arrives, one goes to the afterlife alone. From there, one returns to this world alone. A wise and discerning person understands the nature of the world as it truly is. They do not consider wealth or anything else as their protector, let alone a complete protector. It is said that in this world, birth and death are solitary experiences. In this cycle of existence, one traverses good and bad paths alone. Therefore, until death, one should focus on self-benefit and self-welfare. One performs actions alone and experiences their fruits alone. One is born alone and dies alone, and one goes to the afterlife alone.
All beings, shaped by their own actions, are afflicted by unseen suffering. They wander, terrified and deceitful, driven by birth, old age, and death.
Commentary: All beings dwelling in the belly-like cavity of the world wander through the world. They are shaped by their own actions, such as the karma of obscuring knowledge, and are arranged in subtle and gross, sufficient and insufficient, one-sense, etc., states. They are afflicted by unseen, unmanifest suffering, such as headaches, which is a sign of the suffering. They are also afflicted by manifest suffering, which is unbearable in nature. They wander like a water wheel, terrified and deceitful due to their wicked actions. They are driven by birth, old age, and death, suffering from the pain of conception, etc.
