Answer 2

Answer:

(1) The fate of human beings is similar to earthen vessels.

• Earthen vessels means here worldly bonding before death. We all human beings are made of earthen ingredients we take everything from this world and also by the time give up them.

• We born and die just like earthen pots made of clay and destroy and vanish themselves on the lap of nature.

(ii) The most powerful thing, according to

the Buddha, is death.

• Death is the last destination of our lives, by the time it will close forever, there is no return ticket available.

(iii) The word 'mortals' in the first line refers to danger of death.

• None is immortal in this world, nothing is constant forever. All born, grow and die like ripe fruits because they are early in danger of falling. One day we will grow and come to end and it is the very sign of mortals.
