Often we all think that doing devotion means wastage of time, it would be better if we make more progress by staying in our material work and achieve a glory in our family and society.
But perhaps every person remains unaware of the fact that he does not use even a tenth of the hard work he does and at the end of the day, his own family members, for whom he works tirelessly, start to feel like a burden.
Before death the person is sure to be sick or handicapped, and when he is neglected by his family members, his life becomes worse than that of a dog because he is put in such miserable conditions that he has never lived before. Didn't even think about it.
Therefore the Vedic literature orders that before such miserable conditions arise one should leave home and die without the knowledge of one's family members.
If a person leaves home and dies without knowing his family, it is considered a glorious death. But a family man wants his family members to carry him in a great procession even after his death, and although he will not be able to see what the procession is like, he still wants his body to be carried grandly in the procession. To be taken Thus he is happy even without knowing where he has to go when he leaves his body for the next birth.
This is a very big test for which one has to prepare well in advance otherwise our whole life will be in vain.
