संबोहणा
33
Self-interest governs all minds; all fri. endly relations are due to it. It alone feeds love as oil, the light. When once the interest ceases, the bond of union surely breaks.
. 34 All persons become servile dependents. importunately soliciting favours of him who is the possessor of immense wealth. But when he is reduced to poverty, even his own brother or even an intimate friend is loath to look at him.
. 35 The relation of father, mother, brother, sister and friend arises from the working of Karma; but the ignorant attribute such relationships, though unreal, to soul.
36 lo the whole phenomenal world, nobody is 'really related with another. lo vain does this world trouble itself painfully out of illu. sory attachment. If one judges from the standpoint of spiritual wisdom, one would be convinced of the unsubstantiality of ail objects.
