Kings in the past acquired wealth and property. Could they retain them forever? Wealth is not permanent. It never redeems man. Wealth can never provide permanent happiness. Spiritual wealth is the true wealth. Man is not able to enjoy true happiness due to his greed for money. Yet he craves for money. No doubt, money is necessary but it should be under certain limits. The second is Dareshana. One may have a wife and children, wealth and property and enjoy family life for some time. But such happiness is not true and eternal. It is foolishness to think that one can remain happy forever I family life. The third is Putreshana. Man wants to have a son but the happiness that results is only temporary. King Dhritarashtra had 100 sons, but did he enjoy happiness through his sons? No. He. In fact, had to undergo a lot of suffering and was put disrepute because of his sons. They brought his vast kingdom to ruin. ‘King Dhritarashtra had a number of sons but ultimately what was his fate? Sage Suka was not married and had no son, but did he suffer on account of this? (Telugu Poem)
It is a mistake to think that a person having many sons will enjoy happiness and one without a son will suffer. It is but an illusion to think that money, wife and children will give happiness. In fact ,Dhaneshana, Dareshana and Putreshana act as binding for man and subject him to suffering. What is the use of having many sons who are wicked? It is enough if you have one son who is noble and ideal. (SS May 2002, pp. 139-140)
