Gârgya said, 'This sound that issues behind a man as he walks, I meditate upon as Brahman.' Ajâtashatru said, 'Please don't talk about him. I meditate upon him as life.' He who meditates upon him as such attains his full term of life in this world, and life does not depart from him before the completion of that term.
