celibacy directly to the life of a sannyasa

 I shall pass on from the state of celebacy directly to the life of a sannyasi. Thereby, I shall only confirm my perfection. Indeed, there is no nobler course than this to one who is endowed with discrimination. In this`age of Kali, the average span of life granted to man is a mere hundred years. 

  1. Half of it is spent in sleep. 
  2. Part of the rest is spent away in the ignorance of boy hood and the waywardness of youth.
  3. Another large chunk of it is frittered away in the service of the family and kinsfolk. 
  4. The senility of old age gobbles up another portion of what little is left to him. 
But, after all wealth, family ties and responsibilities are as unreal as a dream. Youth is transcient as a flower which soon withers. Thus life is very short when viewed in the light of the only purpose of it, i.e., Self-realization. The wheel of time destroys all forms of life, including the gods, relentlessly.
