You are neither the body nor the mind. None is yours really.

Whenever i suffer from the pricks of the ego, Swami in his own style, reduces me to nothing so that i can learn a bitter lesson from the crushing of the ego. Though it is bitter like the neam leaves ultimately it serves the purpose and make me alright. When i am proud of my possessions, he makes me to realise the illusory attachment i hold for those things which are not really mine. Even the covering called body and named by my parents are not really me. When the body itself is not me, how can i consider something as 'mine'? Is it not sheer foolishness?. When the body is not mine, how can i consider those who live with me as my own. It is worst of ignorance to consider somebody as your 'wife', somebody as your 'son', someone else as your 'daughter'. Yes, i am in absolute delusion to consider all this as 'mine' and 'my own'. Baba in his own way will correct my incorrigible behaviour. Sairam.
