संसार म्हणिजे सवेंच स्वार । नाहीं मरणास उधार । मापीं लागलें शरीर । घडीनें घडी ॥ १ ॥
संसार म्हणजे धांवणारा स्वार आहे. मरण हे उधारीवर नाही. माणसाच्या देहाला सारखे माप लावले आहे. क्षणाक्षणानें त्याचे आयुष्य संपत आहे.
samsar is like a horseman galloping towards a death he does not want to postpone. And because of this body identification, each and every moment of the `all' body is being carefully measured (this `all' body or knowledge or consciousness is the base of this worldly life; the gross body appears within this `all'. In the morning this consciousness or `I am' appears and a moment afterwards when we think, "I must do this and that" etc., then samsar appears. Thus as long as we retain the concept of being this body, this `all' body of `I am' is at the mercy of our samsar. If we forget this then we remember this `all' and each and every moment, we are. When we are each and every moment then, where is samsar and where is death?).
