Imported quote 16250 Rebirth, that is very painful. But because we are mūḍhas, we have forgotten what is the painful condition is rebirth. We do not remember it. We do not remember. We had to pass through. We can simply imagine how it is painful to remain in the womb of the mother, packed up in an airtight bag, and hands and legs you cannot move even. So this is the tribulations of taking birth. And similarly, the tribulations of death. Sometimes one remains in coma for months and he suffers so much. Sometimes he cries. Actually tears come out. We cannot see, but within the body of the dying man is so much painful. This is called janma-mrtyu. And old man's..., there are difficulties. And vyadhi: everyone is subjected to some kind of disease. So we do not take account. So here Rsabhadeva is stressing on this point: "My dear boys, do not spoil your life living like cats and dogs." Do not. This is not meant for this life. This human form of life is meant for different purposes. Durlabham manusam janma tad apy adhruvam arthadam [SB 7.6.1].
