अहोरात्रैश्छिद्यमानं बुद्ध्वाऽऽयुर्भयवेपथुः । मुक्तसङ्गः परं बुद्ध्वा निरीह उपशाम्यति ।। ११-२०-१६ ।।

sanskrit

Knowing that one’s duration of life is being similarly cut down by the passing of days and nights, one should be shaken by fear. In this way, giving up all material attachment and desire, one understands the Supreme Lord and achieves perfect peace. ।। 11-20-16 ।।

नृदेहमाद्यं सुलभं सुदुर्लभं प्लवं सुकल्पं गुरुकर्णधारम् । मयानुकूलेन नभस्वतेरितं पुमान् भवाब्धिं न तरेत्स आत्महा ।। ११-२०-१७ ।।

sanskrit

The human body, which can award all benefit in life, is automatically obtained by the laws of nature, although it is a very rare achievement. This human body can be compared to a perfectly constructed boat having the spiritual master as the captain and the instructions of the Personality of Godhead as favorable winds impelling it on its course. Considering all these advantages, a human being who does not utilize his human life to cross the ocean of material existence must be considered the killer of his own soul. ।। 11-20-17 ।।
