Annotation

saṃsāra – transmigrating existence, is both external and internal. Birth, growth, oldage etc., are the external aspects. Happiness, misery, the idea of being the doer and enjoyer etc., are the internal aspects of saṃsāra. The sense of identification with the body is the cause for saṃsāra. In reality the body is comparable to a house for the house–holder. The message is that identification with the body is incorrect (Jagadguru).
