What metaphor does the Satcharitra use to describe the fleeting nature of family ties?

In Chapter 14, the Shri Sai Satcharitra employs a vivid metaphor to describe the fleeting nature of family ties. It compares family members—mother, father, sister, brother, wife, son, and uncle—to separate pieces of wood floating along in the current of a river. These pieces of wood meet and drift together for a moment, creating an appearance of unity. However, with the force of a single wave, they are scattered and separated, never to meet again in that same configuration. This analogy underscores the transient quality of worldly relationships and the importance of not being completely consumed by them.
