Man suffers all pains when he is subjected to diseases and the like; but he does not willingly practise religious austerities for the sake of spiritual welfare!

The wise declare and the truth is brought home to us that this phenomenal world is terrible like conflagration, and that the Karmic forces are excessively odd. Such being the case, it is not proper for a human being to be enjoying worldly pleasures like worms. 31
It is renunciation and not worldly enjoy. ment that leads one to Emancipation. Sensual enjoyments and diseases are close associates. What is the use of Yoga and who will remain transmigrating from one life to another in the world [Samsara] if it is possible to attain liberation by enjoying pleasures
32
Enemies infinitely powerful in the form of Karmic forces reside in this body. Food should be taken if they are to be nourished and avoided if they are to be [dried] destroyed.
