II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

दुर्लभ मनुस्या जीवन है,देह न बरम्बार I
तरुवर ज्यों पत्ती झड़े,बहुरि न लागे डार II

The trees shed their leaves as part of the cycle of renewal. So is the endless cycle of death and rebirth we are all subjected to since time immemorial. Just like a leaf falling off the tree cannot go back, "what does it mean to be human?" needs to be understood in broader perspective before this precious human existence is lost.
The river of time flows on. The hours quickly change into days, the days into months and the months into years. Suddenly, one day, the bell tolls for us and the call goes forth: “Vacate the house (of the body)!” The body drops down and man realises, too late, that he has lost the golden opportunity of the human birth, thrown away his precious life without ever really coming to terms with its true nature and purpose. 
We were not meant to live shallow lives, pocked by meaningless routines and the secondary satisfactions of happy hour. 

"Kabir says, with each breath, a precious moment passes by; we have spent one of our precious moments away; what have we done with that golden moment which will never ever be ours again?
We must be as conscious, as sensitive, as particular about our time, as we are with our money. We must use time creatively and never forget that every moment is just the right time to do a right thing. If we wait for more opportune moments, we may have to wait till eternity."
