He went to board a moving train – does the rail become his aunt? One day all slept in profound peace; no bell would ever bother them.
This couplet uses a simple image to talk about life and its ultimate end. The first line asks, "Why try to board a moving train, as if it's your aunt and will wait for you?" It's a reminder that some things in life are beyond our control, and we can't always rush or bend them to our will. Trying to force matters can be foolish or even dangerous. The second line offers a profound thought: "One day, everyone slept peacefully; the bell didn't bother anyone." This beautifully suggests the peace that comes with the end of life, where all worries, deadlines, and the 'bells' of daily demands finally cease. It's about finding ultimate rest when all earthly struggles are over.
