In no way is it possible to keep it intact forever; neither can it be kept fragrant by sprinkling some perfume. Why then harbor undue sense of belonging to it? There is nothing in the world, which is praiseworthy or despicable. Everything is subject to continual change. The wise would therefore simply observe and know whatever happens. It is said, 'Kartrutvam nänyabhävänäm, säkshitvamavashishyate'. It means that the soul is not the Kartä (doer) of anything and it should stay only as a spectator.
