13. Ownership is notional

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 Inspiration - The Value of Values book- Swami Dayananda Saraswati
