In plain words
Embodiments of Prema! In time without end, man passes through experiences of many kinds. But all these experiences are passing. If a man loses wealth, he need not grieve. Wealth that is lost can be earned again. If he loses a friend, he need not grieve; he can win another friend. In the same way, if he loses his wife, he can marry again and have another wife. If he loses land, that too can be got back again. But if he loses the body, there is no way to get it back. So, while the body is still here, you must strive to experience lasting Ānanda.
Dhaneṣaṇa, dāreṣaṇa, putreṣaṇa: these three bind man and drag him into many tangles. In ancient times a great many kings piled up great wealth. But what were they able to achieve? Wealth has never raised man up. By wealth man cannot attain lasting Ānanda. Spiritual wealth alone is true wealth. Though he cannot enjoy lasting happiness through wealth, man keeps on hankering after it. Wealth is needed, yes. But it must be enjoyed within limits. The second is dāreṣaṇa. A man may earn wealth and enjoy happiness for a while together with his wife and children. But to think he can gain lasting happiness is madness. Such happiness is impermanent and untrue. The third is putreṣaṇa. A man longs to have a son. There is nothing wrong in longing for one. Yet Dhṛtarāṣṭra had many sons. But what happiness did he have from them? Did any misfortune come to Śuka because he had no sons? No. To think that only those with sons are happy and those without them suffer is sheer delusion.
