According to Chapter 8, what are the ways a typical human life is wasted?

πŸ“– Chapter 8

According to the philosophy presented in Chapter 8 of the Sai Satcharitra, a human life is often squandered. The text states that half of life is consumed by sleep, while the rest is spent in restlessness. It breaks down the stages of a wasted life: childhood is lost to play, youth is spent in passion for worldly desires, and old age is simply burdened by infirmity and disease. The chapter questions if the purpose of life is merely to be born, grow, and live a long time, suggesting that if one only focuses on nourishing the body and pleasure, the unique opportunity of human birth is rendered useless.
