THE WAY TO HEREAFTER IS NOT APPARENT TO THE CHILDISH THINKER -DELUDED BY
MONEY/WEALTH,WHO COMMITS A MISTAKE OF THINKING THAT THIS IS THE 'WORLD',
FALLS MY WAY AGAIN AND AGAIN ||6
This Shloka is the continuation of all the previous ones . Many a times we feel tat there quite a bit of repetition in theses Shlokas. The same thing happens when one attends lectures by different Swamies or religious leaders.we feel that they all say the same thing over and over again , only with different examples or different language. But then when you realize that the repetition leads to more impact.It is like when we want to put a nail in wall or a piece of wood. One stroke by hammer is not going to do the job . We need mant strikes to the nai ,so that it is firmly and deeply rooted in the wall or wood. So we ordinary people need to listen same thing over and over again so we remember, think about it and know and then BELIEVE IT.
So in this SHLOKA we are told that the ordinary men make a mistake of thinking that this is the only thing which is REAL and there is nothing beyond this and so why not try to get more and more money or collect wealth and enjoy it . This attitude is childish -we all know how all children want to eat more of sweet candies and cookies and ice cream - and do not understand that it is unhealthy. But adults know that it is not good . So those men or adults who think that this world is real and nothing beyond , are acting as ignorant child . As a result of this they continue to have birth and death cycle. So since YAMA is the God of death ,he is saying that these people come my way.
