It

is attachment to property or position born out of a sense of

possessiveness that is the cause of man's sorrow and unhappiness. Man

must strive to get rid of this feeling of "I" and "mine" in order to

experience enduring happiness. When everything appears to be going

well, man forgets everything including himself. His ego gets inflated

as a result of his achievements and acquisitions. He should realize

that he is only a temporary beneficiary of what he possesses and has no

permanent title to them. He should regard power or position as a moral

responsibility carrying the obligation to discharge the duties relating

to it. It is only when all actions are done in this spirit of moral

imperative that man can experience genuine happiness and satisfaction.

 

- BABA
