Guru Maharaj: By spiritual knowledge, we can understand that Kṛṣṇa is our real mother, father, friend. He is our son, He is everything. He is our dhana-prāṇa – our life and soul. As one develops that natural affection to Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, then naturally the other relationships fall into place. So, that is why it is a different period of mourning for different varṇas. Depending on how spiritual one is able to see. You see that the person actually never dies, only that they leave the body. The body dies but the soul lives on. So then by that spiritual vision, you can resolve these dualities.
