Gurbani: What happens to successful and good people who don't follow Vahiguru's Path?


ਬਹੁਤੁ ਧਨਾਢਿ ਅਚਾਰਵੰਤੁ ਸੋਭਾ ਨਿਰਮਲ ਰੀਤਿ ॥ 
bahut dhanaadd achaar-vant sobhaa nirmal reet || 
You may possess vast riches, maintain virtuous conduct, have a spotless reputation and observe religious customs; 

ਮਾਤ ਪਿਤਾ ਸੁਤ ਭਾਈਆ ਸਾਜਨ ਸੰਗਿ ਪਰੀਤਿ ॥ 
maat pitaa suth bhaaee-aa saajan sang pareet || 
you may have the loving affections of mother, father, children, siblings and friends; 

ਲਸਕਰ ਤਰਕਸਬੰਦ ਬੰਦ ਜੀਉ ਜੀਉ ਸਗਲੀ ਕੀਤ ॥ 
lasakar tarak-saband band jee-o jee-o saglee keet || 
you may have armies well-equipped with weapons, and all may salute you with respect; 

ਚਿਤਿ ਨ ਆਇਓ ਪਾਰਬ੍ਰਹਮੁ ਤਾ ਖੜਿ ਰਸਾਤਲਿ ਦੀਤ ॥੭॥ 
chit na aayo paar-brahm taa khaR rasaatal deet ||7|| 
But still, if you do not come to remember the Supreme Lord God, then you shall be taken and consigned to the most hideous hell! ||7|| 

(Siree Raag - Guru Arjan Dev Ji - Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji - Ang 70)
