Summary

This quote suggests that burying someone after death alone does not guarantee their eternal happiness. The message implies that in the afterlife, individuals will continue to seek happiness, but if they search for it beyond the realm of what they know and experience during their earthly life, they will do so in vain. The quote emphasizes that true happiness can only be found in the infinite and all-encompassing entity that exists both in the present life and beyond, rather than in external pursuits.
