Does anyone know the story behind this Shabad ?

ਘਰ ਕੀ ਨਾਰਿ ਉਰਹਿ ਤਨ ਲਾਗੀ ॥

Ghar Kee Naar Ourehi Than Laagee ||

And the wife of his house, who was so attached to his body and heart,

ਉਹ ਤਉ ਭੂਤੁ ਭੂਤੁ ਕਰਿ ਭਾਗੀ ॥੩॥

Ouh Tho Bhooth Bhooth Kar Bhaagee ||3||

Runs away, crying out, ""Ghost! Ghost!""||3||

Bro, have you checked Amir Bhandar Teeka?

The above shabad was given as an updesh to a rich person, who was attached to his house and relatives.

Do you want more details?

 

Bhul chuk maaf

There's no story.

Ravi Das ji is talking about what happens when you die that no one goes with you. And those who loved you and may even want to see you after you die. When you talk to them from a place which they have no conception of, their natural response is that of fear. They have no idea, they run away screaming "Ghost".

Regardless of whether they get scared or not... you are all alone. The world is no longer with you.

Can you remain attached them?

No. You have died. Your family will move on.

 

So what do you do?

You attach yourself to Ram Naam now, so that when you die you can be carried across in peace.

That you may "Rest in Peace".

Don't become attached to things that are transient, he says.


ਊਚੇ ਮੰਦਰ ਸਾਲ ਰਸੋਈ ॥ ਏਕ ਘਰੀ ਫੁਨਿ ਰਹਨੁ ਨ ਹੋਈ ॥੧॥
You may have lofty mansions, halls and kitchens. But you cannot stay in them, even for an instant, after death. ||1|| 

ਇਹੁ ਤਨੁ ਐਸਾ ਜੈਸੇ ਘਾਸ ਕੀ ਟਾਟੀ ॥ ਜਲਿ ਗਇਓ ਘਾਸੁ ਰਲਿ ਗਇਓ ਮਾਟੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
This body is like a house of straw. When it is burnt, it mixes with dust. ||1||Pause||  

 ਭਾਈ ਬੰਧ ਕੁਟੰਬ ਸਹੇਰਾ ॥ ਓਇ ਭੀ ਲਾਗੇ ਕਾਢੁ ਸਵੇਰਾ ॥੨॥
Even relatives, family and friends, begin to say, "Take his body out, immediately!"||2||  

ਘਰ ਕੀ ਨਾਰਿ ਉਰਹਿ ਤਨ ਲਾਗੀ ॥ ਉਹ ਤਉ ਭੂਤੁ ਭੂਤੁ ਕਰਿ ਭਾਗੀ ॥੩॥
And the wife of his house, who was so attached to his body and heart, runs away, crying out, "Ghost! Ghost!"||3||  

ਕਹਿ ਰਵਿਦਾਸ ਸਭੈ ਜਗੁ ਲੂਟਿਆ ॥ ਹਮ ਤਉ ਏਕ ਰਾਮੁ ਕਹਿ ਛੂਟਿਆ ॥੪॥੩॥
Ravi Das ji says - the whole world is being looted (by attachment), but I have been liberated, chanting the Name of the One Ram.
