tesham pramatto nidhanam pashyann api na pashyati

तेषां प्रमत्तो निधनं पश्यन्नपि न पश्यति॥
Distracted by body, children, spouse and the like, which are like their own soldiers yet are not permanent, people see others dying and still do not see it.
What it means
We watch others pass away and somehow believe our own circle is permanent. This verse is a gentle wake-up call: love your people fully, but remember that everything is temporary.हिंदी में अर्थ
शरीर, संतान, पत्नी आदि को अपनी सेना मानकर, जो स्थायी नहीं हैं, लोग उनमें इतने खोए रहते हैं कि दूसरों की मृत्यु देखते हुए भी नहीं देखते।
हम दूसरों को जाते देखते हैं पर मानते हैं कि हमारा परिवार हमेशा रहेगा। यह श्लोक धीरे से जगाता है: अपनों से पूरा प्रेम कीजिए, पर याद रखिए कि सब अस्थायी है।
