The only wealth that you can carry with yourself after death is love for God. So strive to earn that wealth during your living moments earnestly. You can easily accomplish it with pure loving devotion. To earn it, you must dedicate your time, body and actions to serve the Lord. This was what Arjuna understood after listening to the Gita from Lord Krishna. Arjuna, who was an exceptionally intelligent person, after all his arguments with Krishna, finally came to this conclusion and submitted, “Karishye vachanam tava (I shall carry out whatever You say)”. People should depend not on their physical or intellectual strength, but on the power of God. Only the one who relies solely on the power of God can experience true peace and bliss. Such a person need not mind the criticisms of others. They can defy the opinions of a multitude of persons and stand up for what they hold to be true. Unmindful of praise or censure, you have to cultivate firm faith in God.
