You must have heard a saying, friends, "We came empty handed and will go empty handed". This statement means that we were born empty handed and will leave this world empty handed. But if we tell you that a person does not go empty handed after death, then you will not believe it, but this is true friends, a person takes three things with him after death, let's know about it-
Karma
Karma defines our existence. As we approach death, our soul contemplates its deeds, which determine our experiences after death. Positive deeds lead to happiness and rewards in heaven, while negative deeds cause suffering.
Debts
Debts do not disappear with death; instead, they continue to accompany us in future lives as well. It is very important to fulfill any financial obligation before dying. If a person dies with an unpaid debt, he may have to suffer the consequences in his next life.
Punya
Acts of charity, kindness and compassion leave a lasting impact. Our virtuous deeds contribute to our overall happiness in the afterlife and can explain the fortunes we enjoy in this life as a result of past good deeds.
A reminder for future generations
Pitru Paksha is a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of our karmas, debts and virtues throughout our lives. By honoring our ancestors, we set a positive example for future generations.
