Understanding the temporary nature of all material attachments leads to genuine meditation on one's eternal relationship with Krishna.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.15.32 — December 10, 1973, Los Angeles 731210SB-LOS ANGELES [20:05 Minutes] SB-01.15.32_731210SB-LOS ANGELES Pradyumna: Translation: "Upon hearing of Lord Kṛṣṇa's returning to His abode, and upon understanding the end of the Yadu dynasty's earthly manifestation, Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira decided to go back home, back to Godhead." [SB 1.15.32] Prabhupāda: Hm. So, hearing all the details how Kṛṣṇa has gone back to His abode and how the Yadu dynasty was destroyed by fighting amongst themself, so naturally... Yudhiṣṭhira Mahārāja was very sober and very advanced. He thought what to do next.
Everyone should think that... The Yadu dynasty, they belonged directly to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Nobody could conquer them, but still, they were also finished by... Others could not conquer them, but they fought amongst themselves, and then vanquished. So everyone should take care that after all, we have to give up this body, estate, and whatever we possess.
We have to give up. So after giving up, what is next? We have to give up. That is a fact.
If you don't give it up now, at the time of death you must give it up, everything. Mṛtyuḥ sarva-haraś cāham [Bg. 10.34]. You may try to keep in possession whatever you have got, but at the time of death you have to give it up. By force it will be taken away.
Everyone should think like that. That is soberness. One who is thinking that "My family, my nation, my society, my bank balance, my skyscraper building, my motorcars—these will save me," that is not possible. That is not possible. That is the conclusion of the foolish person.
Pramatto nidhanaṁ paśyann api na paśyati [SB 2.1.4]. Those who are mad, they do not see that everything they possess will be vanished. It will not stay. He'll be vanished, his body will be vanished—everything.
Dehāpatya-kalatrādiṣv ātma-sainyeṣv asatsv api [SB 2.1.4]. Asatsu api. All these things are temporary, but I am eternal. They do not think very seriously that "I am eternal, and I am engaged with temporary things.
