Pranam
1 Ageless by Suzanne Somers, 2 Ageing well by Dr Jeanne wei and 3 Caring
for the aging parents Berman shulman- all available in any big bookshops
and in all the libraries of the USA would show how to age gracefully.
However the age is not amere growth but the abundance of character with
maturity is proven in many Upanishads and that of the words of Bheeshma in
Mahabharata. Moothor sol vartai amirtham is not by the number of days
passed but the age of the wisdom at 32 or at 102. Yoga vasishtam book 1/28
vairagya kandam speaks "यदङ्गमद्य संवीतं कौशेयस्रग्विलेपनैः ।दिगम्बरं तदेव
श्वो दूरे विशरिताऽवटे ॥ ४ ॥*yadaṅgamadya saṃvītaṃ
kauśeyasragvilepanaiḥ* |*digambaraṃ
tadeva śvo dūre viśaritā'vaṭe* || 4 || The body that is clothed to-day with
garments of silk, and decorated with garlands and fragrance, is to be cast
away naked into a ditch to-morrow.(2) यत्राद्य नगरं दृष्टं
विचित्राचारचञ्चलम् ।तत्रैवोदेति दिवसैः संशून्यारण्यधर्मता ॥ ५ ॥*yatrādya
nagaraṃ dṛṣṭaṃ vicitrācāracañcalam* |*tatraivodeti divasaiḥ
saṃśūnyāraṇyadharmatā* || 5 || What is seen to be a city to-day, and busy
with the bustle of various occupations, passes in course of a few days into
the condition of an uninhabited wilderness. (3) यः पुमानद्य तेजस्वी
मण्डलान्यधितिष्ठति ।स भस्मकूटतां राजन्दिवसैरधिगच्छति ॥ ६ ॥*yaḥ pumānadya
tejasvī maṇḍalānyadhitiṣṭhati* |*sa bhasmakūṭatāṃ rājandivasairadhigacchati*
|| 6 || The man who is very powerful to-day and presides over
principalities, is reduced in a few days to a heap of ashes.(4) दिवसास्ते
महान्तस्ते संपदस्ताः क्रियाश्च ताः ।सर्वं स्मृतिपथं यातं यामो वयमपि क्षणात्
॥ १७ ॥*divasāste mahāntaste saṃpadastāḥ kriyāśca tāḥ* |*sarvaṃ smṛtipathaṃ
yātaṃ yāmo vayamapi kṣaṇāt* || 17 ||The days, the great men, their hey-days
and deeds (that are past and gone), are now retained in our memory only,
{AUTOPOESIS} and such must be our cases also in a short time. (5) घटस्य
पटता दृष्टा पटस्यापि घटस्थितिः ।न तदस्ति न यद्दृष्टं विपर्यस्यति संसृतौ ॥
३३ ॥*ghaṭasya paṭatā dṛṣṭā paṭasyāpi ghaṭasthitiḥ* |*na tadasti na
yaddṛṣṭaṃ viparyasyati saṃsṛtau* || 33 ||1/28//A pot is made of clay, and
cloth is made of cotton, and they are still the same dull materials of
which they are composed: thus there is nothing new in this world that was
not seen or known before, and that changes not its form. Ageing gracefully
thus is in the nature and the Karma. KR IRS 24422
