Valuing and appreciating at the right time is what truly matters.
Adding ghee to a lamp is meaningful only while it is still burning;
pouring ghee or oil into it after it has gone out is useless.
Similarly, one must value and respect people while there is still time.
Respect shown later is no respect at all;
once they are gone, there is only regret...not appreciation.
After someone has departed, neither can one derive any personal benefit from them, nor does the respect shown later benefit them in any way.
Therefore, value your elders, relatives, friends, teachers, and good people while there is still time.
Respect them, appreciate their significance, and strive to benefit from their wisdom and experiences.
" Rajan Sachdeva"
It’s almost ironic we have to write about this. But the reality is that this is human nature. Also, I believe we lie a lot after anyways after someone has departed to look kind and compassionate.
