Just a few minutes of thought will convince anyone of the hollowness of earthly riches, fame or happiness. When you are affluent, everyone praises you; when the tank is full, hundreds of frogs croak all round. When the tank is dry, not a single one is around. A proverb states, if a corpse had a few jewels on it, many will claim kinship with the dead person; if it has no valuables on it, not a single person will weep for it! When you are adding to your bank account more and more, consider whether or not you are accumulating troubles for yourselves and your children, making it harder for your children to lead clean, comfortable and honourable lives. Reflect and you'll discover that the ones honoured everywhere are only those who renounced, and sought the more difficult road of God-realisation, than the easier path of world-realisation! Your detachment must be strong enough for you to discard the bondage of the senses.
