दीर्घा वै जाग्रतो रात्रिः दीर्घं श्रान्तस्य योजनम्।
दीर्घो बालानां संसारः सद्धर्मंम् अविजानताम्।।
-बौद्ध ग्रंथ धम्मपद (बालवर्ग, गाथा 1)
The night appears too long for the one who is awake all through the night; even a short distance of a “yojan” appears very long for the one who is too tired.
Similarly, life appears to be too long to the ignorant people who do not know what True Dharma is!
