The Feeling of Mine

When man with a possessive spirit retains so many worldly materials, he maintains a link with Asat (unreality). This grade of relationship causes him to have that grade of downfall.
Whatever things we treat as our own, we become dependent on them. A dependent person could not attain happiness, even in dream -
‘Paradhina Sapanehu Sukhu Nahim’
The world is of God, but in error man treats it as his own, that is why he gets tied down.
A body, its senses etc., never say, that we are yours and you are ours; only we treat these as ours and this acceptance is an impurity (Mamata Mala Jari Jai).

A thing that separates from us, does not belong to us. What separates is a thing that, in reality, is separate from us.
