THE GROUND ON WHICH I STAND.

I am of the nature to grow old: there is no way to escape growing old.

I am  of the nature to have ill-health: there is no way to escape ill-health.

I am of nature to die: there is no way to escape death.

All that is dear to me and everyone I love are of the nature to change: there is no way to escape being separated from them.

My actions are my only true belongings: I cannot escape the consequences of my actions.

My actions are the ground on which I stand. ( 500 B.C., India).
