Dharma by Venerable Master Yantra Amaro.
Our life gradually deteriorates all the time. Each year passes and a new one arrives very quickly, we get older one more year and have one less year of life remaining. Children grow up and reach puberty, adulthood, and then old age.
I am getting old. None of us will ever get younger, we all have to grow old and wilt. Some days we all have to leave all and everything. Some people accept that, and try to do the best they can before life finishes.
Like a candle which melts as it produces light, our life diminishes, but what do we get in return? The remaining time of our lives is getting lesser and lesser. Lives are melting away with time and the daily happenings. Have we accomplished with leaving anything worthwhile or useful behind yet? Will there be any goodness, peace, or cool and safe shades in the world provided by us for the youngsters who will come along later?
