"Yāvat vittopārjana saktas Tāvat nija parivāro raktas Paścāt jīvati jarjaradehe Vārtāṁ ko'pi na pṛcchati gehe" Meaning: As long as one earns wealth, family members show affection. When the body becomes old and weak, no one even asks about you. Time as the Ultimate Revealer: Time strips relationships to their truth. Shankaracharya is not condemning family—he is condemning dependence on the impermanent. Time exposes: • Conditional love • Transactional respect • Ego disguised as security What felt solid collapses silently under the weight of years.
