Be mindful at all times of the following: the nature of the whole universe, the nature of the part that is me, the relation of the one to the other, the one so vast, the other so small.
All things change, and you yourself are constantly wasting away. So also is the universe.
This is the chief thing: be not perturbed, for all things are according to the nature of the universal.
All things fade and quickly turn to myth.
How soon will time cover all things.
Frequently consider the connection of all things in the universe.
