My Understanding : With birth, this body inevitably comes with challenges like illness, aging, and other difficulties. You should not dwell on these hardships but focus on fulfilling your duties. Do not become overly attached during tough times or overly fixated on your family and possessions. There will be days when things don’t go as you wish and others when everything feels right. Accept these ups and downs with equanimity. Live with your heart and embrace life as it comes. Do not try to understand everything—sometimes, simplicity and acceptance are the essence of common sense.
