Brief Explanation
1؎: The status and position that capital and principal hold in the eyes of a merchant is the same as that of time. A merchant always desires to increase his capital; similarly, one who is granted a long life should spend as much of his time as possible in righteous deeds. If he preserves the capital of his life in this way, then just as a merchant who wishes to increase his capital often earns profit, so too will he continue to reap benefit.
