jatasya hi dhruvo
mrtyur dhruvam janma mrtasya ca
tasmad
apariharye'rthe na tvam socitum arhasi
Translation
For one who has
taken birth, death is certain and for one who has died, birth is
certain. Therefore in an inevitable situation understanding should
prevail.
In this last verse the cycle of life is clearly
revealed. From birth comes death and from death comes birth. Just
like in the spring new buds grow which blossom into flowers and
leaves in summer and in autumn change to red, yellow and orange in
fall and blow away and become dormant in winter to begin the process
all over again in the following year. In the a similar way the soul
enters new bodies for its seasons of infancy, youth, maturity and old
age and at the end of its cycle of life is born again accepting a new
body for another season. This is an inevitable process in the
material existence and is the automatic process that governs the
birth and death. All beings existing in the material manifestation
completely follow this reality.
