We are God's ( Hum Bhagwaan ke Hai )
Shree Hari

Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intellect and ego - they constitute Aparaa Prakriti (lower Nature) and we (the self), having become the Jeev (embodied soul), are Para Prakriti (higher Nature). We have our relationship with God rather than with the body. The body is Apara Prakriti. "I" (ego) and "mine" - both are related with the world. As soon as we become free from the "sense of mine" and "egoism", immediately Supreme Peace follows - "Nirmamoh nirahankaarah sa shaantimadhigacchyati" (Gita 2/71). Nothing is ours. Neither the sense of mine, nor egoism is ours. Neither desire nor "sprhaa" (thirst for necessities of life) is ours. It has been mentioned in the Gita, the Brahmi state i.e. the state of a God Realized soul. "esha brahmee sthithi" (Gita 2/72). Therefore if we accept that we belong to God and we have no relationship with the so called our body, senses, mind and intellect, we can attain salvation just now. It has nothing to do with sins and virtues. Therefore we should have no notion in the least that we are sinners. We are totally free from sins. We are obviously part of God. Sins are fleeting and are committed, they are not natural. But we (the self) are naturally sentient, pure and a heap of bliss - we have to know this fact. Sins appear and disappear, while we (the self) don't appear and disappear, but ever remain uniform.
We are ever with God and God is ever with us. Whether we are sinful or we are virtuous, we are with God. If we are good, we are God's, if we are bad, we are God's. In fact, there is neither sin nor virtue, neither good, nor evil, in us . We may not realize this fact now, but we are certainly God's A man may be a deadly sinner, may be a butcher who slaughters animals, yet he is most definitely a part of God. All of us are part of God; sins and virtues don't even touch us; they have no access to us (the self). If we understand this fact properly, we will be emancipated.
The body belongs to the world, it undergoes birth and death, but we (the self) remain the same - "bhootagraamah sa evaayam bhootvaa bhootvaa praleeyate" (Gita 8/19) (This multitude of beings, born again and again, under compulsion from Prakriti, merges). The body has its identity with the world, while we have no identity with the world at all. All sins are related with the body, not with the self. We are separate from all sins and virtues, good and evil actions. Accept this fact. We are only God's - this is absolutely true. Only acceptance of this fact will lead to salvation, because it is acceptance that leads to bondage and acceptance that leads to salvation.
We are God's even if we forget this fact, the fact remains the same. The reason is that forgetfulness or unforgetfulness is there in our intellect rather than in the self. The self has no affinity either with the forgetfulness or with remembrance (memory). We (the self) ever remain the same - "sentient, pure and naturally the heap of bliss"; the self has nothing to do with oblivion or memory. We are sentient while "sattva-raja-tama" - these three modes are insentient (inert). When we get attached to these modes, then they bind us. If we don't get attached to them, they can't bind us. We, inspite of being sentient and detached, get attached to the inert and thus get entangled. If we don't get attached to these modes, they will abide only in Prakriti - "prakritisthaani", they will have no access to us. There is no doubt about this in the least. If we are not attached to the modes, they can't harm us at all. They have no powers to harm us. Howsoever our actions of millions of births may be, but as soon as we regard only God as ours, they (our sins) are all wiped out -
