The sayings in this section have been collected from various sources like the Valmiki Ramayana, Adhyatma Ramayana and the Yoga Vasishtha Ramayana.
- At sunrise men rejoice thinking they may work and earn. At sunset they rejoice thinking they can enjoy themselves. But they do not realize that their lives are shrinking.
- As the seasons come round, men fancy they will ever be fresh and feel happy. But with each cycle of the seasons, our lives are shortened.
- As logs of wood come together on the wide ocean, and having drifted together for a time, part from one another, so do wives, sons, kinsmen and possessions come together and separate. This separation is unavoidable.
- None on earth ever escapes the course of nature. So mourning for the dead is of no avail. Nor can one escape when one's turn comes.
- As a man falling in with a caravan on the move, says to those there, "I too will accompany you", so is the journey of life, which has already performed by our fathers and grandfathers. If one joins the journey, which knows no change, how can one complain?
- Life is a stream that never reverses its course, so one's life ever lessens in duration.
