मनुस्मृति - धर्म

मृतं शरीरमुत्सृज्य काष्ठलोष्टसमं क्षितौ ।
विमुखा बांधवा यान्ति धर्मस्तमनुगच्छति ॥

- मनुस्मृति

Relatives will leave the dead body just like they would leave dry wood or a lump of mud. No one will follow you to the world of after-life. It is only results of the Dharma you followed all your life that will follow you and help/hurt you in the after-life.

- Manu Smriti

गरुड पुराण - मानव जन्म

महता पुण्ययोगेन मानुषं जन्म लभ्यते ।
तत्प्राप्य न कृतो धर्मः कीदृशं हि मयाकृतम् ॥

- गरुड पुराण

After much difficulty does one get a human life (in this endless cycle of life and deaths). Even after getting one, I did not live it by Dharma (the moral code of life). So laments a man who just realizes that he can not end the cycle with his life.

- Garuda Purana

मनुस्मृति - धर्म

नामुत्र हि सहायार्थं पिता माता च तिष्ठतः ।
न पुत्रदारा न ज्ञातिः धर्मस्तिष्ठति केवलः ॥

- मनुस्मृति

In the after life none of whom you love here will help you - not father, not mother, not relatives, not son, not wife, not friends. It is only fruits of following Dharma that help you there.

- Manu Smriti
