Muhammad Ghaznavi invaded India 17 times and carried back to Ghazni, a huge chunk of our precious stones, gold and silver. His army brought bloodshed and destruction wherever it went, leaving behind countless widows and orphans. However, when the time of his death drew near, he ordered his court officials to put all the wealth he had brought from India on display in a hall in his palace. Then, he was carried slowly around the hall on his bed. At that moment, he sighed deeply and with tears rolling down his cheeks, he exclaimed, 'Nothing of this wealth, which I acquired through endless cruelties and atrocities, could give me everlasting joy, peace and eternal happiness. All these things are useless for me today. And I would like to tell people who think they can achieve perpetual happiness and joy through worldly pleasures that they are highly mistaken. They are just wasting their precious time in sensual enjoyments and destroying their lives.'
Similarly, George Eastman, who founded the Eastman Kodak Company and popularized the use of film rolls, had every material pleasure that one aspires for. However, despite all his prosperity, his very own existence was intolerable to himself. Result? He killed himself by aiming a bullet on his head.
