Slokam 10

Rishabha,  gave up every shred of attachment and every iota of possession and lived very much like a python, cow, deer or crow.  In other words, he ate what he got and wandered about on earth without a home.  To lead such an existence, particularly after having been in the lap of material luxury,  is the ultimate display of realization of the truth about the inner self.  It is also the ultimate display of surrender to the Paramathma. 

There will be no expectation or even a constructive approach to attain a higher state.  Rishabhas last phase was to demonstrate life in the state of brahman.   In this state of pure surrender,  the mind is completely quietened and all armor or effort at self preservation is completely discarded.  It is said in the slokam that Rishabha was finally consumed by the fire in the forests of the hills of Coorg,  into which he had wandered.

Even in the earlier parts of life,  the Paramathma has repeatedly stated in the Bhagavath Gita, that we should live life like water droplets on a leaf.  We are not to stick onto or even attempt to stick on to the leaf, although we may be cast like raindrops onto the transient home that leaf of life offers.  Like the water droplets, we have to slide off the leaf, when our time is over, without leaving any trail on the leaf. May our final phase of life be completely devoid of all desires, attachments and possessions. May our surrender to the Paramathma be complete.
