ṣaḍete hyavamanyante nityaṁ pūrvopakāriṇaṁ|
ācaryaṁ śikṣitā śiṣyāḥ kṛtadāraśca mātaraṁ||
nāriṁ vigatakāmastu kṛtārthāśca prayojakaṁ|

Vidura the wise half-brother of Dhritarashtra is presenting the principles of lifemanagement and statescraft in the chapters in Udhyogaparvan of Mahabharatam, to the King and the brother. He is acutely conscious of the fickleness of sense of gratitude in human beings. Certain people get attached and show the utmost concern about certain relations or connections so long as these relatives and connections are of any use. One the purposes of these helpers are achieved, then they are forgotten for ever.
"These six things are usually ignored and treated with scant respect even though they were of great utility at a point of time.
They are:-
1. The students do not care much about the teacher who had shown them the path to life and imparted valuable knowledge .
2. Once a person gets married his whole attention is concentrated on his wife and in this process he simply has not time to think of his own mother.
3. A person who was just going after a woman for romantic reasons, simply ignores the woman once he had received from her what he wanted.
4. A fellow who has employed a priest or preceptor to perform rites for certain benefits, once such benefits have been realized by the employer.
5. A boat is ignored for ever once the its owners have sailed across wide rivers and other huge water depositories.
6.A man is very much devoted to the doctor and always sees living god in him when the former is in the grips of disease, but once he is cured, the doctor becomes a stranger to him.
Here Vidura is stating the ground realities of life. He is not canvassing the philosophy that human conduct should be like this. Respect to Mother, Teacher, Preceptor and elders is a quality expected of any cultured person. One should never forget the path he trod. But the average human mindset does not consider gratitude as a cherished quality.

let all my relatives abandon me, let the great people insult me, still I am in supreme bliss since my life is GOVINDA alone.
