CBSE · Class 10 · Hindi · Kshitij Poetry: Chhaya Mat ChhoonaHow does the poet view worldly achievements like Yash (fame) and Vaibhav (wealth)?

The poet views worldly achievements like Yash (fame), Vaibhav (wealth), and honor as temporary, deceptive, and illusionary. He compares them to a mirage ('Mrigtrishna') that promises happiness but only leads to endless desire and discontentment. Chasing these material goals distracts humans from the true essence of life and peace. The poet emphasizes that these achievements do not provide permanent satisfaction and often lead to increased mental anxiety and spiritual emptiness.
