"Man enters the stage of Life with nothing!! He exits the stage equally with nothing! In between Life and demise he acquires various assets, qualifications,beliefs, and other things for his satisfaction! All these versatile factors in man are useful during his life time and are of no value when death overtakes him! Says Thomas Gray, the English Poet " All paths of Glory lead but to the Grave"! Existence of man on earth is uncertain! Any thing can happen at any time! Mortal man is quite unaware of his own transient stay in the world! He thinks he will live for ever with his wife and children and his assets and other property! He becomes more and more materialistic and does not think of his spiritual self! Our sages and seers have stated very clearly that nothing follows man when he leaves this world! This body made of the Five Elements merges into those Elements and disappears! What follows the person is the good and bad he has done on the surface of earth when he lived! The greatest wonder on earth is that man, seeing every person dying, thinks that he will live on for ever This is what Dharmaraja told the yaksha when he was questioned in the Mahabharatha! Our Life is compared to the momentary flash of lightning! " Vidyth chalam Jivitam" What is the purpose of this Life? asks a devotee! Your travels,riches, prosperity,kingdom,sons, wife, friends and relatives,body and home--- all these things are of momentary existence! So, go in for prayer and worship of Lord Siva the consort of Parvathi! The vasanas, the feelings or the tendencies to which man was attached very intimately go with him along with his papa and punya he has earned during his life time!! It is the effect of these karmas that he has to experience in his next Birth!!"
