The practice of Dharma must begin this very moment. Postponing it to a later day is pointless. The only thing that is sure to accompany you after your death is your good deeds or Dharma. Your virtues know no death.

Explanation: A virtuous life is one which is not touched by any of these - Envy, anger, greed and unsavory speech.
Envy, greed, anger and unsavory speech are attributes than man must strive to eliminate. Too much wantedness and envy are a colossal waste of this precious life.

Envy, anger and greed destroy man.
