________________
When your body groweth old and your hair turneth white, all your strength abateth. Therefore, be not careless even for a while.
Cast off all attachments, as the leaves of lotus keep aloof even from the autumnal water. Be not careless even for a while.
Get not into an uneven path or ye shall repent it afterwards like the weak burdenbearer who went astray. Be not careless even for a while.
Ye have crossed the great ocean ; why do ye falter so near the shore ? Hurry to get to the other side. Be not careless even for a while.
