That which will perish later on, give it up from the very beginning. If a householder becomes a recluse from his heart, it does not make any difference to him if all the members of his family die or their number increases. But if he laments the death of a boy in the family, it means that he is a disgrace to the recluse community. If you die to the world, like a recluse who dies to his family, you will be free from bondage and become immortal. Die to the world while living and attain immortality. It is mentioned in utterances of saints “O’ mind, die while living” Die to your family and they will be free from the botheration of funeral rites on the third and twelfth days and “Narayan Bali”
(offer oblation to God) and will have to incur no expenses. thus your family and you will both be happy.
God, saints and the scriptures always shower their grace on you. Now shower your own grace on you and
attain the goal of life. But if you don’t shower your own grace, their grace will go in vain. Renounce your attachment to those whom you regard as yours and you will be emancipated. You renounce your attachment to your family and become a disciple of a preceptor (spiritual guide) and then you are attached to your preceptor (spiritual guide), his disciples and others who have affinity for him. By doing so, you will not be emancipated, the bondage will persist. I met a sage. He told me that his preceptor advised him to leave the family. So he left the family and then he also left the preceptor. Now he has neither the preceptor, nor disciple. nor family. First he became a recluse from a householder and now he has become a recluse from a recluse i.e. now he is truly a recluse.
Neither regard the family as yours, nor want anything from them. Serve them with your money, time and resources. It will please them and lead you to salvation. Renounce your old affinity by serving them and don’t establish the new one, then there will remain nothing except salvation or emancipation.
