1. That we are dying the minute we are born.
2. That we spent so much time and money on furniture and house decoration, and the maintenance of them, thinking that it’s our permanent resting place, forgetting that we are leaving everything behind when we die.
3. That we think we really own all the stuff that we buy, when in fact those stuff actually own us - as now we think about it, care for it and get depressed losing it.
4. That advertisements are telling us to buy, buy, buy so that we look like how they tell us we should look, and have what they tell us we should have.
5. That only when we die will we realize how fake and vain the world is, and how we are veiled from seeing the truth.
Rabiah Adawiyah said, "A lover of God is one who is lost in witnessing Him that no consciousness remains in him, and he cannot distinguish between pain and comforts". A saint came and started complaining of the world. Rabia said, "You seem to love the world too much, for one talks of that thing very much to which one is most attached".
