Translations

English Translation

Material possessions or wealth that is accumulated with the intention of future use is often criticized by the wise, as they know that death is inevitable and does not consider one’s intentions. The message emphasizes acting in the present rather than postponing life decisions.

हिंदी अनुवाद

जो भौतिक संपत्ति या धन भविष्य में उपयोग के लिए जमा किया जाता है, वह बुद्धिमानों द्वारा अक्सर निंदा की जाती है, क्योंकि वे जानते हैं कि मृत्यु अनिवार्य है और किसी के इरादों पर विचार नहीं करती। यह संदेश वर्तमान में कार्य करने पर जोर देता है, बजाय जीवन के निर्णयों को टालने के।
