He does not think that he . . . you are also subjected to this principle of dying. But he does not take it seriously. This is called illusion, <i>māyāi>. He thinks, oh, that "I shall live forever. Therefore let me do whatever I like. There is no question of responsibility." Oh, this is very risky life. Very risky life. And this is the most covering part of illusion. One should be very serious that death is waiting. "As sure as death." If there is any surety in this world, that is death. Nobody can avoid it. And when there is death, oh, there is no more intelligence, no more your puffed-up philosophy. You are under the grip of nature.

Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja, he was asked, "What is the most wonderful thing in the world?" He replied—he was very learned king—"Yes. The most learned thing . . . most wonderful thing in the world . . ." You, you have heard seven wonderful things in the world. So Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja said, &lt;i&gt;ahany ahani lokāni gacchanti yama-mandirami&gt;. &lt;i&gt;Ahani, ahany ahani i&gt;means daily, every day, every moment. At least every day we see so many death list. If we go to the crematorium ground, we can see. So &lt;i&gt;ahany ahani lokāni gacchanti yama-mandiram, śeṣaḥ sthitam icchantii&gt;. But those who are still alive, they think, "Oh, death will not take place. I'll live. I'll live."

He does not think that he . . . you are also subjected to this principle of dying. But he does not take it seriously. This is called illusion, &lt;i&gt;māyāi&gt;. He thinks, oh, that "I shall live forever. Therefore let me do whatever I like. There is no question of responsibility." Oh, this is very risky life. Very risky life. And this is the most covering part of illusion.

One should be very serious that death is waiting. "As sure as death." If there is any surety in this world, that is death. Nobody can avoid it. And when there is death, oh, there is no more intelligence, no more your puffed-up philosophy. You are under the grip of nature.
