Who do I consider My Own?

Actions taking place with the gross body, thinking and contemplation with the subtle body and "Samadhi" (deep trance) with the causal body are all for others only, not for ourselves at all. There is never any satisfaction with these, even if million, billion, trillion years go by ! These are all perishable and you all are veritably a part of Paramatma. All the bodies from the 8.4 million wombs have all departed, then, will this body not depart as well? This body is of the same soil as those bodies. This body has also being acquired and it too with depart.
Simply accept this one point, and firm it up in your mind, that those things that we meet which later part from us, they are not ours. Just as childhood was with you, but it separated from you, similarly youth also separated from you, now old age will also separate from you, sickness will also separate from you, poverty will also separate from you, wealth will also separate from you. These all are the kind that will part ways.
If you think careful, then isn't the body going to separate ? Isn't the wealth and possessions going to part ways? Will not the house, land, money, family etc. separate? Will they not be separated from you? Will you not be separated from them? All those that are your companions, will they remain with you forever? Those that are going to separate from you, serve them, give them rest and relaxation, behave properly with them. The one to remain with you always is only God. Whether you believe him to be with attributes or without attributes, whether you believe him to have two hands or four, whatever you choose to believe, you may do so. Only God will remain with you forever. Besides Him, no one else will stay with you forever. Besides Him, all are going to part ways. Even the saints and great soul's bodies have not remained, then how will your body remain. So far, this has be the way things have been happening, now is something new and different going to take its place? Do not become attached to the things that will depart. If you become attached, you will have to cry.
I am God's and God is mine. I am no one elses, and no one else is mine. Accept this today itself, then today itself you will become happy. All are ours to serve. All are loving ones of God, therefore serve all. God has said - "sab mama priya sab mama upajaayi" (Manas. Uttar. 86/2) Serve all, but do not regard anyone as your own. Your crying, your sorrows will come to an end. If you cannot leave attachment, then with a true heart call out to God, O' Lord ! O my Lord ! (He Naath ! He Mere Naath !), I am trapped in some troubles ! Please get me out of this misery! God will most definitely free you from your miseries.
