English Translation

One should not lament over the loss of wealth, righteousness, or happiness as they do not contribute to the ultimate objectives of life. True essence lies in understanding that material pursuits are temporary and transient.

हिंदी अनुवाद

लाभ से परे होने वाले धन, धर्म या सुख के लिए कोई भी शोक व्यक्त नहीं करना चाहिए, क्योंकि ये जीवन के सच्चे लक्ष्यों में योगदान नहीं करते हैं। असली सार यह समझना है कि भौतिक लक्ष्यों का मूल्य अस्थायी है।
