About This Video

Saadi says: “Wealth exists for the comfort of life — not life for the accumulation of wealth.” Someone once asked a wise man, “Who is the fortunate one, and who is the unfortunate?” The wise man replied: “The fortunate one is he who eats and gives — and the unfortunate is he who dies and leaves it all behind.” And Saadi ends with a single couplet that cuts deep: Pray not over the grave of him who did nothing — who spent his life gathering wealth, and never lived to enjoy it.
