それで、自己に関する無知のための心配を諦めなくてはいけない。あなたは今考えている。望みないあわれは生命体がどのようにして、あなた無しで存在しているか。
When we think of our kith and kin as being helpless and dependent on us, it is all due to ignorance. Every living creature is allowed all protection by the order of the Supreme Lord in terms of each one’s acquired position in the world.

This is explained more clearly in the following verse.
