O my heart, please cast a handful of water as a funeral oblation to honor the death of this material body's pleasures. This material body is not your property.

When this life comes to an end, the material body will collapse and become unconscious.

This body's handsomeness and strength will not last for many days. Therefore, you should not be proud.

Translation

Staying in the material body, the soul is provided with material eyes, ears, nose, tongue, skin, and other things. The soul's material desires are then directed to all these senses. Gathering around the soul, and saying, "Look! Look!", the senses try to drag him in different directions. In this way the soul's condition is very fearful and unfortunate. He wants to worship Lord Kṛṣṇa, but because the soul in plunged in the material body, he eventually forgets his original spiritual nature.
