As we age, we become wiser. It is because of our experiences and the bullshit detector that develops along the way. Our likes and dislikes become an extension of our mind. In short, we seek more peace.
One thing most people forget in their early years is their karma. In Hinduism, it is deeply rooted. Our forefathers were strong believers in it. Even with limited resources, they lived well and with less guilt.
The modern world and consumerism have brought many advancements to our lives. But what we have forgotten—or left behind—are our old roots. We have given up on karma. As a result, even with all the wealth, many die of incurable diseases, while many others die alone, eating off gold plates.
