TRANSIENT Vs PERMANANT

 SUBHASHITHANI:634

ऐश्वर्यं अध्रुवं प्प्रप्य ध्रुव धर्मे मतिर कुरु

क्षणादेव विनाशिन्यः संपदो अप्यात्मना सह

Aishvaryam adhruvam praapya Dhruva dharme matir kuru I

Kshanaadeva vinaashinyah sampado apyaatmana saha II Sringeri Acharya

Wealth and the body and positions are impermanent; realising this one should use such possessions towards dharmic activities. Pride and ego can destroy any one in a matter of seconds.

अनित्यानि शरीराणि विभवो नैव शाश्वतः ।

 नित्यं संनिहितो मृत्युः कर्तव्यो धर्मसङ्ग्रहः ॥

anityāni śarīrāṇi vibhavo naiva śāśvataḥ |

nityaṃ saṃnihito mṛtyuḥ kartavyo dharmasaṅgrahaḥ ||

Our bodies are perishable, wealth is not at all permanent and death is always nearby. Therefore, we must immediately engage in acts of merit.

अनित्यं यौवनं रूपं जीवितं द्रव्यसंचय:।

आरोग्यं प्रियसंवासो गृध्येत्तत्र न पण्डितः।। (महाभारत, शा. प. २०५/४)

Transceient are : youth, beauty, life, wealth, kingdom, association with friends, a wise one does not care for them.

अनित्यं यौवनं बाल्यं शरीरं द्रव्यसंचयाः।
भावाभ्दावान्तरं यान्ति तरग्ङवदनारतम्॥ Yoga Vasishtha1.28.10

Our childhood and youth, bodies and possessions are all but transient things, and they change from one state to another, as the ever fluctuating waves of the ocean.
