Wealthy people build palaces with nine floors. At the time of their departure (dying), the palace jests with them, ‘You are going and here we remain standing! ’ The palaces are not the only palaces, are they? The wife, the children — they are all palaces indeed!

Dada Bhagwan
About This Quote

This is an interesting quote that speaks to the importance of building palaces with our loved ones. It's true that our physical bodies are temporary homes for us while we live, but it's also true that the relationships we have with other people are not. A person can have a family and yet be homeless on the inside. Others may have a family and a home, but be homeless on the outside.

So what does it mean to build a home? In the day of your departure, remember your family. In the day of their departure, they will remember you. Life is a journey from birth to death, and on the way we all leave behind our homes and families.

However, if we do so while surrounded by people who love us and care for us, then these families will look after us until we return. And when we return, we will not only return to our family but also to our home.
