| "Taravaḥ kiṁ na jīvanti (SB 2.3.18). Bhāgavata says that "You are trying to prolong your life. Don't you know that trees live more and more years than yourself?" Taravaḥ kiṁ na jīvanti. So what is the use of such living? A tree standing for five thousand years, what is the use of such living? Therefore those who are trying to live for many years, they are being instructed, taravaḥ kiṁ na jīvanti (SB 2.3.18). They are also living being. And what is the use of living? First of all, that. . . For the same purpose, eating, sleeping, mating and living for five thousand years, ten thousand years, what is the use?"
