In this tale, a wealthy man, who built a huge building, proudly hosts a meal for a yogi on the sixth floor of his lavish building. After the event, the man, feeling boastful, asks the yogi to record his experience in a book. The yogi declines to write but offers his opinion orally. Initially impressed, the yogi then reveals, "I feel sad." Surprised, the man asks why. The yogi responds, "I am just wondering how your dead body will be carried down six floors when you pass away." This story serves as a poignant reminder of the transient nature of material wealth and the importance of humility.
Dr. SV Prabhath
It is a slap on the face of rich who mindlessly gather wealth without realising that nothing can be carried to the grave if he dies.The stark fact is that if a person becomes richer and richer,he will be distancing himself from all his relatives and friends..Life becomes more difficult.The sixth floor is symbolic of that difficulty
