do your work incessantly

यावत्स्वस्तमिदं कलेवरगृहं यावच्च दूरे जरा यावच्चेन्द्रियशक्तिरप्रतिहता यावत्क्षयोनायुषः। आत्मश्रेयसि तावदेवविदुषा कार्यः प्रयत्नो महान् प्रोद्दीप्ते भवने च कूपखननं प्रत्युद्यमः कीदृश ।।

the enterprising and wise man should always do things for his own overall benefits of the present and future as long as he is in good health, as long as the old age and senility is not very near, as long as the organs have the strength to act with reasonable dexterity, and as long as there is no detriment to his longevity. Can anybody call the action of a fellow starting to dig a well while his house is already gutted by fire as a prudent action?्
