Our duration of life is measured.
Such valuable time, especially for the human being, should be cautiously spent because even a second passed away imperceptibly cannot be replaced, even in exchange for thousands of golden coins amassed by hard labor. Every second of human life is meant for making an ultimate solution to the problems of life, i.e. repetition of birth and death and revolving in the cycle of 8,400,000 different species of life.
The material body, which is subject to birth and death, diseases and old age, is the cause of all sufferings of the living being.
They do not know at all how to solve the problems of life, but become engrossed in temporary family affairs.
This is called illusion.
