Simplified Meaning:
When we are born, we come into the world with nothing. We don't bring any clothes, money, or possessions with us. And when we die, we leave the world in the same way – we can't take anything with us. This idea reminds us that material things are not the most important part of life. For example, imagine a very rich person who has houses, cars, and lots of money. When they die, all those things stay behind; they can't bring any of it after their death. This teaches us to focus on meaningful experiences, relationships, and kindness instead of just trying to collect more stuff. It’s a good reminder to value what we have now and to live a life that brings true happiness and fulfillment.
