Shrila Prabhupada - They beat him with shoes!
H.D.G. A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
"Karmis labour to accumulate more and more money for future generations only because they do not know their future position. Interested only in getting more and more money for their sons and grandsons, such foolish persons do not even know what their position is going to be in the next life. There are many incidents that illustrate this point. Once a great karmi accumulated a vast fortune for his sons and grandsons, but later, according to his karma, he took his birth in a cobbler's house located near the building which in his previous life he had constructed for his children. It so happened that when this very cobbler came to his former house, his former sons and grandsons beat him with shoes. Unless the karmis and gyanis become interested in Krishna consciousness, they will simply continue to waste their life in fruitless activities."
Nectar of Instruction, Text 2, purport.
Shrila Prabhupada is founder-acharya of ISKCON. His writings constitute a veritable library of Vedic philosophy, religion, literature and culture. Website: http://www.prabhupada.com/biography.html
