Summary

This quote suggests that human life is temporary and exudes a sense of duality. It proposes that birth is the beginning of a journey towards death, and death is not the end but a transition into an eternal existence. Drawing the analogy of seedlings, it implies that our time on earth is merely a stage of growth and development, with the true realization of our potential occurring in the afterlife. Thus, the quote presents a hopeful perspective on the purpose and ultimate destination of human life.
