The modern world is driven so much to possess material things to satisfy their individual desires that their perspective does not extend their own immediate family as extension of their individual ego, completely oblivious of the society in which they live and the responcibility which they owe to their fellow beings.
No one in the present world desires to live simple life, wearing simple clothes, eating simple food, living in simple homes. Every one craves for possession of unfulfilled desires for special things, with unfulfilled desires to become some one other than what they are by natural attributes and inclination, to succeed in every they do, failures being perceived with distaste, their every thing and success to be perceived and liked by others with appreciation.
Their constant concern to self-preservation may be attributed to human nature, success having been their ideal, failure is not accepted as inalienable part of living life in the world. Not being able to be liked, appreciated and live up to the expectations of others, being looked down, ignored as being failure is feared, leading to stress and strains, sorrow and suffering.
In the final analyses every on looses - one's form, possession and achievements, one's family and companions. Change being inseparable and integral part of living life any resistance, rejection and opposition is fraught with danger. If in life every thing changes due to decay, deterioration, destruction and dissolution then what remains ?
Yaknyavalkya who was wise in Wisdom was asked this question, when the form of the bod decays, deteriorates, is destroyed and dissolved, when the elements return back to their sources what remains thereafter ? The wise one replied : कर्म, the remainder, consequential to the good and bad actions performed remains, as the balance carried forward.
Therefore, in acceptance of the change and not in the expectation of continuity, lies wisdom of the wise one and the happiness of the human race. When Jaratkar Artbhag asked, "यत्रायं पुरुषों म्रियते किमेनं न जहोतीति ।"remember the words spoken by Yajnyavalkya, "नामेति, अनन्त वै नाम, अनन्ता विश्वे देवा:, अनन्तमेव सं तेन लोकं जयंति ।।". नाम is the divine essence which is eternal unlike रूप, which in temporary, fleeting and evanascent.
Therefore it is declared - "परिवर्तिनी संसारे मृत: को वा न जा़यते । स जातो येन जातेन याति वंश समुन्नातिम् ।।" - In this ever changing primordial world who once dead does not become born again ? He is born again, by whose being born the family reaches greater heights. It is neither his material possessions or the temporal positions that give him immortality but the glorious splendour and luminous resplendence of his नाम, the immortal divine essence that lasts longer when his रूप, the mortal temporal form decays, deteriorates, destroyed and ceases to be existence. It is not the form that is eternal but the sum total of the deeds done by him in his life that remains eternal. It is not his wealth that contributes to the eternal glory of his family and ancestors but it is the ideals which he has left which makes his family resurgent with noble ideals of wisdom, kindness and compassion, renunciation of his ego and charity towards all that contributes to the eternal glory of his family and ancestors.
