We have to investigate what is the fruit of getting 1000 rupees. And what is the fruit of getting one lakh rupees, or what is the fruit of getting one crore rupees? Swami means that if you get 1000 rupees, what is its fruit after death? Right now, we can see the fruit. If you get 1000 rupees or one lakh rupees, and if you get one crore rupees, you get a good car, that is called fruit. If you get a good bungalow, that is called fruit. But Swami means that if you get 1000 rupees, what is its fruit? When? What is its fruit after death? If one does not use it meaningfully, then after death, there is no special fruit left. There are millions and billions. Gunatitanand Swami said that King Nanda collected the wealth of the entire earth, the entire earth's wealth. We couldn't do that much. But he gathered the wealth of the entire earth. Then what was the result? Death occurred. King Chitraketu gathered one crore women, yet he suffered, so he suffers from it, it doesn't happen. But Swami says to investigate its fruit after death. If we check now, it won't be much. If we check now, the real thing won't come into calculation. But he feels that if we have 1000 rupees, or one lakh rupees, or one crore rupees at the time of death, are they of any use? They are of no use. There, they say that money is of no use after death. You say that whether it's ours or anyone else's, it's of no use. Whether it's ours or anyone else's, it's of no use. We have to go somewhere else. It comes in handy or if you want to be happy, it happens. Maharaj has said to become a particle, hasn't he? Maharaj has said to become a particle, so. It's useless after death. So someone said very nicely that modern people say that whatever balance we have at the time of death, that much is considered foolishness. You won't believe it, but we're talking about others. It didn't come to use for his own life. In his own life, and brother, the previous children, the previous heirs, if they are good, then it is good. There is no problem in that. But if they are not good, then you have worked hard and earned it, and they will all waste it. So it's our foolishness. We are doing that to it. Then that is called foolishness. So, as far as possible, finish everything by the time your breath ends and tell the children. In Africa, Valbhai. Hasubhai Bholiya, he told his son that he has a very big business. It's a business that runs the whole kingdom. So he told his sons that whatever I earn. If I go to Dham, I will not leave a single penny behind for you. I will not leave a single penny behind for you. As much as I do. They donate more than a crore every day, more than a crore every day, and they are very generous people to so many people. So, when I pass away from here, I will not let what I have earned come into your hands. And you have all this, the means are there, they will give it as it is, then you earn from it and do whatever you want. The children are all like him, they have his samskaras, so they all say, Maharaj Bapa, we don't need anything. You just use it. And we are happy with that. You use it and be happy. That's fine. But Gunatitanand Swami says that a devotee of God should think like this. How useful is what we are doing now to go to Akshardham? How useful is it for us to please Maharaj or to be with Maharaj? It comes to Akshardham, it comes in handy after death. If we are doing something now and it is not happening as much as it should, then that much is considered worthwhile. And if it doesn't happen, then all our hard work is considered useless. Our hard work that we do. It is considered useless. So, work hard with that thought in mind. Swami says to investigate what is the fruit of having 1000 rupees. What is the fruit of getting one lakh rupees? What if you get one crore rupees? Why, as Swami says, one cannot eat more than a roti. Therefore, investigate it. And learn to turn back. Turning back means this. That one should learn to think about this. That if whatever material God has given us does not come to use for our welfare. Then we can say it's a bit of a mistake. We have been misguided. And it should be done slowly so that it comes in handy. Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, they gave away their wealth while they were alive.

Among them, there is one beggar who, whenever we go, he gives a quarter to everyone else. We said, "Hey brother, you?" So he said, "Yes, if I have more, I give it away." If I have more, I give it to others. So, he is considered a great philanthropist. That's the attitude. It came from him, so it's not a one-way system. It comes and then never leaves. This is power.
