Letting Go of Me and Mine

 


This Knowledge (Jnana) is so complex that simply stating it is insufficient. Telling someone that sugar is sweet isn't the same as really tasting it. It must be consumed. Only by experiencing Brahman can one comprehend it, and only by Grace is this possible. 

The Master's Grace can only come to blossom in the proper fertile ground, the seeker's mind. 

The fruit of the Master's Blessings is reaped by the seeker of his own Self. One who understands himself truly "understands," and is "liberated" by Self-Knowledge. 


He who has realized himself has no need for anything and has no desire to own anything. 


Paramatman, who is the "Supreme Self," has no use for Illusion. Due to your feeling of "my," you are currently incredibly haughty. You have two wives, both of whom are "wealthy" and "womanly."

 Nobody will encounter God if they believe that nothing is possible without money. Because God is formless, money and a spouse are designed for the ego, or person (Jiva), rather than God (Shiva). He is Spirit in its purest form. 

There is a common misconception that devotion to God Almighty is impossible without money. Money isn't necessary for spirituality. 

When we explore within ourselves, we might meet our Higher Self, and it is then that we know the Illusion is meaningless. 


Leave the concepts of "I" and "my" behind. 


The realization that "nothing is mine" is the core of the Master's Grace. You must consider, "I am not my physical body. The body, not me, the pure unqualified Self, owns the children and the family." Slaves of Illusion are those who live by the concepts of "I" and "my." 

How can they know what a Saint is truly worth? Illusion is not allowed to approach the Saint. 

"Riches of Illusion" pale in comparison to "Riches of Freedom." Laxmi, the Goddess of Prosperity, turns the one who wants her into a beggar, but humbly serves the one who does not care for her. The dignity comes from not expecting anything in return from the Illusion. It is an insult to say, "I want, I want." 


Demanding anything is insulting. 


It is more honorable to not demand than it is to demand. All that is required for knowledge (Jnana) is renunciation. Make it a practice to say no to everything. 

"The intellect dies, illusion dies, and the body dies as well," Saint Kabir stated, "but hope and desire do not die." 

You will become Saint Kabir if hope and longing vanish. You shall sip the Nectar of Immortality after the poison of desire has been removed from your head. "Let no desire for sense objects exist," Saint Ramdas states. 


You can be free if you let go of the idea of "my."
