【For, if you assume that you will not die and think, “I will not die today,” or, “I probably will not die today,”】
If you assume that you will not die or most probably will not die, with the thought that I will not die today, what would you do? You will concentrate on the immediate things. However,those immediate things will be meaningless when you pass away, just like a dream. Besides, those karmas that you have been creating will send you into hell, into the three miserable realms. Therefore, below it said: because you assume you will not die,
【you will continually make preparations to stay in this life】
You will be busy with the immediate things in your life! Not only for today, also for tomorrow and the day after. You will be busy with all those things!
【and will not prepare for your next life.】
and will not prepare for your next life.
【Meanwhile, you will be seized by the Lord of Death, and you will then die in sorrow.】
Meanwhile, you will be seized by the Lord of Death. By that time, it will be too late and you will then die in regret.

念死无常 : 如果心执取不死，会发生什么事？
【以念今日决定不死，或多分不死，其心则执不死方面，】
假定说你今天不会死，或者多半不会死，于是你那个心理觉得今天既然不死，怎么办呢？就专门忙眼前的事情，而眼前的事情两脚一伸，一点意思都没有，就像作梦一样，而所忙的业却把你送到地狱里面去、三恶道当中去。所以他下面说，因为你执着不死方面，
【便专筹备久住现法，】
就是要忙现在啦！啊，不但今天，还要明天，还要后天，哎哟，忙这些事情都少不了，你都忙！
【不能筹备后世之事，】
你不会忙后世的事情。
【于此中间为死所执，须带忧悔而没亡故。】
万一在这个中间，一下送命了，到那个时候，你就来不及啦，来不及啦！到那个时候懊悔而亡。
