VERSE 8

Who is your beloved? Who is your son?

Very strange is this family bond.

Whose are you? Who are you? Whence did you come, Brother mine, reflect on the truth of it all.

What is the permanent relation between the wife whom you love and yourself? You adore your son passionately; who is he?

The course of worldly life is a great mysterious enigma. Whose property are you? Whence did you come? Where were you previously? Did you come to existence by yourself? What is the bond between the persons whom you love and worry about and your- self? Why all this anxiety and attachment? Reflect on all this for a while and your delusions will vanish.
