If man has not reached the spiritual level, all he does is equivalent to the activities of a dead man or of a ghost.
That is why, considering the attitude of certain iniquitous and ignorant spiritual guides, Jesus had said of them:
“Woe to you. You look like those tombs that nothing to notice, and over which people pass without realizing it”.
If it happens when he grows up, that the son neglects his parents and fails to satisfy them by his actions or by the donation of his goods, let us be sure that he will be punished after death by Yamaraja [the lord of death and judge of the guilty].
If anyone is able to take care of his elderly parents and willfully neglects to do so and to ensure their total protection, and also neglects to take care of his children, his spiritual master, spiritual guides and other beings dependent on him, he is considered already dead, even if he is he still breathes.
The Blessed Lord teaches us to save ourselves:
Once again, I will teach you this wisdom, the highest knowledge, thanks to which all the wise have raised themselves from here below to ultimate perfection. Whoever establishes himself in this knowledge can attain the spiritual and absolute nature, similar to Mine. So he is not reborn at the time of creation, and at the time of dissolution, is unaffected by it.
The whole material substance is the seat of conception. I thus make possible the birth of all beings. Understand that all species of life proceed from the bosom of material nature, and that I am its Father, who gives the seed.
Material nature is formed from the three gunas [the three attributes and modes of influence of material nature; virtue, passion and ignorance]. That the distinct being [the spiritual being distinct from God], imperishable, touches the material nature, and he finds himself conditioned by these three gunas.
Know that virtue, the purest of the gunas, enlightens the being and frees him from the consequences of all his sinful acts. The one she governs develops knowledge, but at the same time, becomes conditioned by the feeling of happiness that she brings. Virtue attaches being to happiness. When through all the doors of the body [the two eyes, the two ears, the two nostrils, the mouth, the genital opening and the anus] penetrates the luminous flow of knowledge, then one can be assured that virtue grows in power.
Whoever dies under virtue gains the upper planets, the pure planets where the great sages live.
Acts performed under the aegis of virtue bring about the purification of their author, and from virtue is born the true Know.
