After realizing worldly relationships are not helpful for spiritual goals, what steps does the text recommend for a seeker?

When a seeker realizes that worldly relations like parents, sons, or a wife cannot be companions in the spiritual goal, the text advises a turn inward. Chapter 45 explains that upon final reflection, only one's own self remains to achieve this goal. The seeker should give up hope in others, build strong self-confidence, and practice discrimination between the eternal and the transient. This involves renouncing the fruits of enjoyment in this world and the next, achieving virtues like calmness and self-control, and meditating only on the Guru, who is identified as the true Brahman.
