transformed into karmas, owing to our activities and passions.
It is thus clear that as we advance in life we must be able to control and restrain our activities and passions as these lead to bondage of karmas. By the stage of advanced adulthood we must be in a position to understand the harmful effects of our activities and passions. All activities, hitherto performed by us with great passion, need to be curtailed. With each passing day we have less time on hand to rectify the situation as life is getting shorter by the moment.
