Considering the number of births you have come through, you have had countless mothers and fathers, wives and husbands, sons and daughters, friends and enemies, but are they subsisting today? Do those relatives remember the relationship? You are no one to them; they are nobodies to you. But you and they both have the Lord in common as the unchanging Relative; He subsists throughout all the births; He is eternal. (DhyV, p. 42/43)
