filth like a ball, after then ( in youth) he is swayed by passions like an ass. He resembles an old ox when overtaken by old age but he never acts like a true man in his whole life, he never tries to realise his own self. )
Notes: V. 96. 97.
The author, in these two verses; pictures the worldly prospects, which, one devoid of Spiritual Light hankers after. He looks upon his family relations as his own, though they are illusive, momentary and perishable. He takes a great delight in sensual pleasures and enjoyments, thinking them to be true happiness. He thinks of birth, old age and death as belonging to the soul, though they really belong to the body. He thinks, he is a Jain, a Baudha, a Christian, a king; a potentate, a millionare, a teacher, a pupil, etc; According to the practical view these ideas are correct but when judged from the nouminal view, they are not so. The higher wisdom clearly points out that the past enjoyments and pleasures have brought no true felicity. Not with standing this, the man with false belief, (Mithyatva) indulges in new hopes which are strongly powerful and delusive.
