Let us take the example of a rental car to understand the dispassion towards objects. During the entire duration while you drive a rental car, you are aware that you are not the owner of this possession since you need to return it to the car rental agency. As a result, you utilize it well and take care of the car appropriately as per the instruction manual, without getting too much attached to it. You derive maximum value for your investment while ensuring that it is returned in the best possible condition.
The above analogy is applicable to all our possessions in life. They are available for our use for a limited duration only. We cannot take any possession with us, while leaving this world. The possessions per se do not have joy or sorrow. It depends upon how we relate ourselves to the particular possession which makes our mind happy or sad. A dispassionate person will display a sense of gratitude whenever he or she uses any object which is provided by the Creator.
Make a note of the key possessions in your life and do a complete reassessment on how you are relating to them in everyday situations. Ascertain your level of dispassion to trigger course corrections. FRIDAY GYAAN is available in Amazon in both ebook and paperback versions – Visit Website http://www.authorshankar.com)
