anajāna mūd̤ha mana māna re

English meaning

Oh foolish mind! Accept what I say. Realizing this world to be unsubstantial, meditate on Shyāmasundara. Know even renowned and prosperous worldly people to be beggars because even they are victims of ever-new desires like you. It is because of these wife, son, husband etc. that innumerable lives of yours have been wasted. All these worldly relatives are like birds that chirp on a tree singing its glories only so long as it bears fruits. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that as soon as the fruits fall down and the tree becomes bereft of them, all those birds fly into the sky on a long journey leaving the tree alone. The implication is that these worldly relatives feign love only so long as some selfish end of theirs is fulfilled. The moment it stops to be so, they do not bother even to look at you.
