The road that ends in a trench needs to be ditched.

Indian and Hindu Texts

When we live materialistically, seeking worldly pleasures, we are driving on a road that ends in death. However, because so many people go along that road, we presume it must be the right road. Guarding us from such uncritical gullibility, the Bhagavad-gita urges us to unsentimentally note that the path of materialism ends in old age, disease, death, and then rebirth. Thus, we stay fallen in the ditch of material existence.
