The human experience is marked by a series of challenges and burdens that begin at birth and continue throughout life. This passage highlights the inevitability of toil and struggle that every person faces, symbolized by the 'heavy yoke' upon humanity. It speaks to the shared nature of human suffering and the universal reality of life's difficulties. However, this acknowledgment of life's burdens also serves as a reminder of our shared humanity, encouraging us to support one another through empathy and compassion. The imagery of returning to the 'mother of all things' suggests a cycle of life, emphasizing that while life is filled with labor, it is also a journey that we all undertake together. By understanding that everyone carries their own burdens, we can foster a sense of community and mutual support, helping each other through the trials of life.
Great travail is created for every man, and a heavy yoke is upon the sons of Adam, from the day that they go out of their mother's womb, till the day that they return to the mother of all things.
