77. ' I ' and 'Mine' are False Ideas

Qn: How to conquer attachment to family and possessions?

Ans: Attachments are born along with sense of me and mine. The I and mine having no support in themselves need support which they find in the body. For reality to be, ideas of Me and Mine must go.

Qn: People whom I love- must I give them up?

Ans: Let go your hold on them. They may lose interest in you or not. Loss of your possessions will be somebody's gain. The body will solve its problems by eating, drinking and sleeping. There is enough for all, provided all share.

The world and society require change of heart. Then it will radiate, communicate, increase and spread. The power of a true heart is immense.

Talking is not my hobby. I hear myself talking. Talking is going on. That is all. There is talking, working, coming and going. It is enough to shift attention to the Self and keep it there.

All happens as there is a mysterious power that creates and moves everything. Realize you are not the mover, only the observer and you will be at peace.

Qn: Is that power separate from me?

Ans: Of course not. But begin by being the dispassionate observer. Then only will you realize your full being as the universal lover and actor. You will be afraid until you experience freedom and its blessings.

Some memory remain to guide the body, but it is no longer the ground for desire or fear. Never again will you be caught in the meshes of desire born of ignorance.
