Our
life is passing by, day by day. Every day the sun rises, then before we
know it, it sets and it's evening again, making our life one-day
shorter. Most people are caught up in their worldly routines and don't realize this. Their worldly concerns are a net, which enmeshes them and
chokes them. The spider spins its web and ultimately surrenders its life
in it. In the same way, the worldly person is strangled by a web of
domestic problems. He has spent his childhood playing and his youth
chasing pleasures. Even when he is old he is still full of cravings. He
says he will meditate tomorrow. Tomorrow never comes, but time certainly
does catch up with him. When Death comes for him he is full of regret
that he does not know God. And until a person realizes God he cannot
escape the wheel of birth and death and is bound to it for lives to
come. A devotee, on the other hand, does not get stuck in Maya. He tries
to realize God and escape the cycle of birth and death.
