What does Chapter 8 say about how most people waste their lives?

According to the philosophical section in Chapter 8 of the Sai Satcharitra, a significant portion of human life is wasted. The text states that days rise and set while years are consumed, with half of life spent in sleep and the rest in restlessness. It observes that childhood is often spent in play, youth is dominated by passion for women, and old age becomes burdened by infirmity and constant disease. Chapter 8 critiques this cycle, suggesting that a life spent only on these phases without pursuing the higher goal of realizing the Supreme Self is a wasted opportunity, no better than the existence of animals.
