Maharaj Yudhisthira Inquired, “Spiritual Master Of The Demigods, Who Is The Real Friend Of The Living Entity? When One Leaves This Material Body, Which Is Like A Piece Of Wood, Cloth Or Earth - Who goes With Him?”
Brihaspati Replied, “My Dear Yudhisthira, A Person Is Born Alone, He Has To Face Life’s Difficulties Alone, And Finally, He Has To Die Alone. Therefore, A Living Being Has No True Companion At Any Stage Of His Life. At The Time Of Death, A Person’s Father, Mother, Wife And Children, As Well As All Other Relatives And Friends, Cast Aside His Body As If It Were No More Important Than A Stone. After Lamenting A Few Moments, They Turn Away From The Dead Body And Resume Going About Their Business.”
“It Is Only One’s Righteous And Unrighteous Acts That Follow Him After Death, And Thus Virtue Alone Is A Person’s Real Friend. For This Reason, An Intelligent Person Will Consider The Performance Of Virtuous Acts To Be His Only Goal Of Life."
