गृहेषु कूटधर्मेषु पुत्रदारधनार्थधीः । न परं विन्दते मूढो भ्राम्यन् संसारवर्त्मसु ।। ४-२५-६ ।।

sanskrit

Those who are interested only in a so-called dutiful life — namely remaining as a householder entangled by sons and a wife and searching after wealth — think that such things are life’s ultimate goal. Such people simply wander in different types of bodies throughout this material existence without finding out the ultimate goal of life. ।। 4-25-6 ।।
