True friend Accompanies You after Death
A person had three friends. But he felt more attracted towards the two and as to the third he did not bother much, was rather indifferent to him. Once he was in deep distress. He went to his first friend and told him, "I shall have to appear in a court in connection with a charge against me. I am in great difficulty. So you please help me and accompany me to the court?" The friend's reply was very curt and straight. He said, "what to speak of a court, I can't go with you a single step even."
Thus disappointed by the friend this person felt very sad and approached his second friend and explained to him his distress and difficulty and requested him to accompany him to the court. And the second friend said, "You are in distress. Well, I shall only go along with you some distance. But I can't help you going inside the court and assist you in the case."
The person grew sadder and when he felt absolutely helpless he went to his third friend of whom he did not so long care to take notice. He spoke out to him about the distress he was in and everything about his friends. The third friend listened to him and not only went to the court along with him but cited such irrefutable proofs of his innocence as a witness in the court that the person was released.
The person then felt that the friend whom he had so long neglected had really rendered him the most sincere service at the time of his danger and distress.
Who are these friends? Wealth, Relations and Dharma (virtuous deeds) after death, his wealth (the first friend) will be of no use. The second friend (Relations) will accompany the person only up to the burning Ghat or burial ground. But the third friend(Dharma) is a real friend because he was a friend in need and was his savior.
Let the mind be led to the state of purity or righteousness through the study of scriptures and with association of virtuous people which walks with you not only in this birth but also in the future births.
Jai Gurudev.
