Translation

Therefore give up your disparity of mind on account of ignorance of yourself as you are thinking of how they, who are helpless poor creatures, shall exist certainly without you.

Purport

When we think of our kith and kin who are out of sight as helpless and dependent on us, it is all due to ignorance only. Every living creature is allowed all protection of living conditions by the order of the Supreme Lord in terms of every one's acquired position in the world. The Lord is known as Bhutabhrit one who gives protection to all living beings. One should discharge his duties only otherwise except the Supreme Lord no body can give any protection to any body else. This is explained more clearly in the following verse.
