Atharva Veda Fails Quotations

The string of life is wearing thin, day and night, and you have done nothing for your soul. Doing your deeds, you have grown old; your voice fails you, and your body has become weak.

A miser, unwilling to spend his money, fails to utilize his wealth properly. His mind is occupied by nothing but only one thought-how to preserve his wealth. To ensure the safety of his wealth, he spends most of his time worrying about the means to guard it. Thus,he becomes lethargic.
