Asaktiḥ- Absence of attitude of ownership
There was an young man,
very proud of his financial plan
He shared that he purchased a flat
what he really own was a serious chat
Land of that apartment
belongs to State department
Roof belongs to the person above
Floor belongs to the person below
Walls belong to the neighbors
Space is owned without labor
Asaktiḥ is absence of attitude of ownership
Body is given; Food is given
Clothes are given; Relations are given
Everything in this Universe is given;
I own nothing; I only possess things
Switch in the attitude is a step in dispassion
Dropping the attachment is the best motion
Ownership is notional
Possession is factual
