Lesson
Nowadays,
dishonest and fraudulent people are successful everywhere, because they are
rich, and they have all signs of wealth i.e. large bungalows, cars, servants,
companions, dear ones and children in abundance. People consider that if they
will not agree to them then where they will live. Their influence has been
spread in every direction. Rulers, administers of the empire and police etc.
are under their control and they reap advantage by means of bribery commonly. They
welcome earnestly and courteously to their supporters also. In short, it seems
that they dwell in the world as they have been living in the Paradise. Observing
this all, one can think: Their way of life would be good as they are seen
prosperous.
It has
been narrated in this verse that one should not be deceived from their apparent
pomp and show. All that glitters is not gold. Their wealth and prosperity are
only for ostentation. Actually their wealth, their children and those people
who are under their influence, are misfortune for their life. Their friends and
lovers are like kites and crows for them, and whenever they find any chance,
they pinch and eat; even their flesh pieces. They snatch money from them by threatening
in many ways. They seek and find their internal secrets and being acquainted, they
threaten them to disclose their secrets. And whatever they wish, take from
them. And for keeping their reputation firm, they are compelled to please them
in each condition. On the other side, thieves, robbers and swindlers lie in
wait for them every time.
At last,
if their personal life is studied, nothing is visible save heap of confusion, anxiety
and uneasiness. They are upset due to thought of self protection and safety of
own wealth, and feel as they are being eaten by weevil (of such thoughts). They
are so much engaged in the worldly matters that they have no spare time for
thinking a while and performing for the next life also. In such condition of
ignorance and worldly disputes, they have been dying. And their name is entered
in the list of Infidels at the time of death. Such kind of life should not be worth
considering for any individual.
There is
a lesson in this verse for those people, who begin to talk in favor of wealthy
vagabonds being awe-stricken from them.
