【Also, Sri Jagan-mitrananda says”
Divine One, no matter what fortune you have gained,
When you depart to another life,
As though conquered by an enemy in the desert,
You are alone without children or queen,
Without friends, without clothing,
Without kingdom, and without palace.
Though you have limitless power and armies,
You will not see or hear them.
Eventually not even one being or thing
Will follow after you.
In brief, if you lack even a name,
What need is there to speak about anything else?】
Here it says that no matter how high is your social status, how much wealth you possess, when you die, what then?
“As though conquered by an enemy in the dessert”, it is as if you are being in captive by the enemy, you cannot take anything with you, not a single thing at all! Your loved ones such as children, spouse, and things like food, friends, country, status, no matter how strong your power is, there is nothing that you can take along with you. Therefore, he tells us “You will not see or hear them”, all your worldly possessions, they can neither be seen nor heard, this is the predicament!

念死无常 : 所拥有的一切,看不见也听不到
【吉祥胜逝友亦云:“天王任何富,死赴他世时,如敌劫于野,独无子无妃,无衣无知友,无国无王位,虽有无量军,无见无所闻,下至无一人,顾恋而随往,总尔时尚无,名讳况余事。”】
这个说,不管你地位多高,然后呢财富有多少,等到你死的时候,什么样呀?“如敌劫于野”,就为那个敌人在旷野当中把你抓去一样,没有一样东西能够带得去的,没有一样能够带得去的!你最亲近的亲人,所谓子女、夫妇,然后呢这些东西啊,乃至于衣食、朋友、国家、地位,不管你有多强的势力,没有一样东西带得去。所以他告诉我们说“无见无所闻”,你以前所有东西啊,既看不见也听不到,是这样的状态啊!
