But inspite of doing this, we are wasting our precious lives in arranging temporary comforts that will not be with us  after our deaths. The wealth of true worship remains with the soul, even after the death.  This Kalyug is the prime time for attaining salvation. Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj from Haryana is giving us the true mantras to attaining salvation, so being wise we must make the most out of it. Saint Garibdas ji Maharaj from Haryana says: 

Garib, Samjha hai to sir dhar paav, 

Bahur nahi re aisa daav| |
