Everybody knows death is certain. Then why this crime and exploitation to amass wealth ?

Nothing is known about life after death, but one thing is sure... whatever wealth or money amassed will be left behind and one shall tread a lone journey.

    But everybody does not know the value of human birth. They live like birds and animals in a primitive way; without bothering about the purpose of life and death. The goal of human birth is to realize the true Self as taught by the saints and sages. May Almighty showers blessing upon one and all to find out the divine path of Self Realization.

    I guess having amassed wealth insures a good life until you die. You can then leave it to those you love so they can have a good life, and on, and on. Get it?

    If you have that view, why not just be homeless and sleep on a bench? People do this to enjoy life while it lasts. Who cares if you can't take it with you? The point is when you die, will you die having lived a happy life or not
