हितोपदेश - मित्रलाभ - शरीर

शरीरस्य गुणानां च दूरमत्यंतमंतरम् ।
शरीरं क्षणविध्वंसि कल्पांतस्थायिनो गुणाः ॥

There is a lot of difference between body and the qualities it possesses. The body is short lived. But its nature does not die till the end of time. People still talk about the qualities (good or bad) of people long after they are dead.
