भोगा न भुक्ता वयमेव भुक्ताः, तपो न तप्तं वयमेव तप्ताः। कालो न यातो वयमेव याताः, तृष्णा न जीर्णा वयमेव जीणार्ः ॥
The pleasures of life are not consumed by us, it is we that are consumed by the pleasures. A penance is not performed by us, we merely suffer the pain of the penance. Time has not gone by, We have been carried away by time (without our consent and away from our goal). Our longings have not been fulfilled or exhausted, we have been wasted by our longings.
