Do you know a fruit falls down from the tre tree when it gets ripe. Sometimes it falls down by a gust of storm. In the beginning that fruit is too small and it grows up gradually. It falls down when it is ripe because its grip gets weaker after ripening. In the same way when a man becomes older then he is bound to die.
His infatuation (hold on life) should became weaker too. Very few people are there who stay alive till old age otherwise they can be broken anytime like windfall mangoes. But surprisingly when you have become weaker, all of your hair has turned white but still you are caught in worldly things. Your infatuation with life doesn’t lessen. Your desires, affection or aversion don’t reduce. As fruit is part of the tree and is not separated similarly you are a part of your family and don’t think of detachment. Loosen your grip, reduce your attachment before death otherwise you will rot hanging on the tree. If you reduce your attachment from worldly things and pleasures before death, then your life will be meaningful.
