Srimad Bhagavatam

यदपि दिगिभजयिनो यज्विनो ये वै राजर्षयः किं तु परं मृधे शयीरन्नस्यामेव ममेयमिति कृतवैरानुबन्धायां विसृज्य स्वयमुपसंहृताः ।। ५-१४-४० ।।

sanskrit

There were many great saintly kings who were very expert in performing sacrificial rituals and very competent in conquering other kingdoms, yet despite their power they could not attain the loving service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is because those great kings could not even conquer the false consciousness of “I am this body, and this is my property.” Thus they simply created enmity with rival kings, fought with them and died without having discharged life’s real mission. ।। 5-14-40 ।।

english translation

साधु प्रकृति वाले ऐसे अनेक महान् राजर्षि हो चुके हैं, जो यज्ञ अनुष्ठान में अत्यन्त प्रवीण तथा अन्य राज्यों को जीतने में परम कुशल थे, किन्तु इतनी शक्ति होने पर भी भगवान् की प्रेमाभक्ति नहीं कर पाये, क्योंकि वे महान् राजा, “मैं देह-स्वरूप हूँ और यह मेरी सम्पत्ति है” इस मिथ्या बोध को भी नहीं जीत पाये थे। इस प्रकार उन्होंने प्रतिद्वन्द्वी राजाओं से केवल शत्रुता मोल ली, उनसे युद्ध किया और वे जीवन के वास्तविक लक्ष्य को पूरा किये बिना दिवंगत हो गए। ।। ५-१४-४० ।।
