Srimad Bhagavatam

siva.sh/srimad-bhagavatam/skandam-8/22/9

किमात्मनानेन जहाति योऽन्ततः किं रिक्थहारैः स्वजनाख्यदस्युभिः । किं जायया संसृतिहेतुभूतया मर्त्यस्य गेहैः किमिहायुषो व्ययः ।। ८-२२-९ ।।

sanskrit

What is the use of the material body, which automatically leaves its owner at the end of life? And what is the use of all one’s family members, who are actually plunderers taking away money that is useful for the service of the Lord in spiritual opulence? What is the use of a wife? She is only the source of increasing material conditions. And what is the use of family, home, country and community? Attachment for them merely wastes the valuable energy of one’s lifetime. ।। 8-22-9 ।।
