Verse 71 for 12 March, 2026
71. The lord asked: "Which is greater? The little sand on my fingernail, or the great earth?" "Lord, greater by far is the great earth. Tiny is the sand on your fingernail. The two cannot be compared." "So too, beings who are reborn as humans are few in number. Far greater are those who are reborn in non-human realms. Therefore, you should train yourself, thinking: "We will live earnestly."
Samyutta Nikaya II.263 ::
