"I am sitting alone in the transcendental abode of Sri Vrindavan-dham.
While in this mood of contemplation, many realizations have been coming to me.

Although I have my wife and sons, daughters, grandsons, everyone, they all consider me to be a total failure in life simply because I have no money.

O Sri Krsna! You have shown me the naked form of material nature.
By the power of your mercy upon me today, I have become disgusted with it all.

"I gradually take away all the wealth of those to whom I show my favour" (SB 10.88.8)
How can I comprehend such mercy of the all-merciful Lord?

Seeing that I am penniless, everyone has now abandoned me -
my own family, my other relatives, and even my so-called friends.

This situation is indeed miserable, but it simply amuses me. I sit alone and laugh.
In this mundane material world, who are my loved ones?

Where have my affectionate father and mother gone now?
And where are all my elders and other relatives, who were my own folk?

Who will give me news of them now, I ask you – tell me who?
All that is left of this so-called family is a list of names.

The froth upon the seawater arises one moment and disappears the next; the play of maya's worldly illusion is exactly like that.

No one is actually a mother or father, a family member or relative.
Everyone is just like the froth on the seawater, existing for only a moment. Vrindavan Bhajan.

Just as the froth on the seawater dissolves again into the sea,
The body made of five material elements merges again with these elements after it dies.

How many fleeting forms does the embodied soul take in this manner?
His so-called family members are only related to this temporary external body."
