What did she say?

“Everyone should have this in their life: that we did not bring anything with us, and we won't take anything with us. Do as much good as you can; that's the only thing that will stay with you. Don't hurt others' hearts, don't earn anyone's curse, and do as much good as you can. Share a portion of your earnings with others; help others. By doing this, your mind will also find peace.”

This snippet is from the musical tribute show Naam Reh Jayega, for Lata Mangeshkar, where Asha Bhosle appeared as a guest.

What did this mean?

The core agenda of life is simple: we enter the world with nothing and leave it the same way. So, in this journey of life, getting worked up over materialistic things, both things and people, seems really trivial from the larger perspective. This means you need to stress less if your bucket list is nowhere near being completed or a person close to you has betrayed you. In the end, as the singer circled, nothing really matters. So, instead of acting out spitefully, you move through life with grace. Avoid causing pain; help those in need and share your earnings with others. When you are generous, you also get a deeper sense of peace that you are contributing to a wider cause. Charity work brings a lot of peace of mind, along with fulfilment.
