Human Body lives for short period whereas it's Qualities are known forever

शरीरस्य गुणानाश्च ,

दूरम्अन्त्य अन्तरम् ।

शरीरं क्षणं विध्वंसि ,

कल्पान्त स्थायिनो गुणा: ।।

( चाणक्य नीति )

There is a lot of difference between the human body and its qualities. Because the Human body lives for a short period where as the Qualities are remembered for ever.

शरीर और गुण इन दोनों में बहुत अन्तर है । शरीर थोड़े ही दिनों का मेहमान होता है जबकि गुण प्रलय काल तक बने रहते हैं ।
