Importance of Hindu Spiritual Knowledge
IMPORTANCE OF SPRITUAL KNOWLEDGE
In this article, I am going to elaborate some facts of life which are based on my own experiences and some Hindu Scriptures. (Not a new thing, every person has to some or the other day pass through this phase of life, either in this birth or in future births to come.)
If one feels the subject boring, then certainly he/she can stop reading, but I can assure you that you have nothing to lose by reading this article. One can agree or disagree with my viewpoint, but the universal truth will prevail, the defect is in our set of mind, upbringing, or more particularly the SAMSKAARS which are imparted to us since childhood.
We live in this materialistic world, and there is blind race in this world for money, name, fame, etc. Such is the cut throat competition that the saying BAAP BADA NA BHAIYA SABSE BADA RUPAIYA holds true.
Our Shastras also say that there are four attainable goals of human beings which are DHARM, ARTH, KAAM and MOKSHA. Out of these, most of the people tend to ignore the fourth one i.e. MOKSHA.

DEHE CHITAYAM, PARLOK MARGE, KARMANU GACCHATI JEEV EK”
It means that when you will die, your property, movable and immovable will remain on the earth, your cattles will be there in their place, your wife will come only till the door of your house, your relatives will accompany you till the grave yard (smashaan), your body will be cremated and the only thing which go with you is your karma. So, all our actions which are not towards our final goal i.e. Self realization is in vain, is futile exercise and is a big zero, because out of this nothing will be carried forward in the next birth.
As far as accumulation of money is concerned, somewhere we have to
