THE KURAL
336. But yesterday a man was and to-day he is not: that is the wonder of wonders in this world.
337. Man knoweth not if he shall last the next minute: but his thoughts are more than ten million.
338. The fledgeling abandoneth the broken shell of the egg and flieth away: that is the symbol of the love between the soul and the body.
339. Death is like unto a sleep: and life is like the waking after that sleep.
340. Hath the soul no home of its own, that it taketh shelter in this worthless body?
