हम जाने थे खायेंगे, बहुत जिमीं बहुमाल I ज्यों का त्यों ही रह गया, पकडि ले गया काल II
There are people who are singularly devoted to the accumulation of wealth. What happens to all that wealth when they die? It's left behind to others who didn't earn it. A wealthy man lying of sick bed nearing his end recalls his whole life and realises that all the recognition and wealth that he took so much pride in have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death. You can employ someone to drive a car for you but you can't have someone to bear sickness for you. Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost - "Life." Whichever stage in life we are at right now, with time, we will face the day when curtain comes down and then all the riches we were so proud of fall in the hands of those who have not earned it and therefore they do not see the same worth in them as we see.
"Kabir says, when we die we leave everything behind, nothing accompanied us ever."
