Me, Mine, and Not Mine

We all have our own relative universe (brahmand) consisting of 3 worlds - me, mine, not mine.

We identify ourselves through what all we consider in ‘mine’. Could be hair, skin, body, house, degree, property, job etc. And whenever somebody tries to encroach or take something from our ‘mine’, we get mad; suddenly the survival fear rushes through our veins. We start feeling that we are losing our identity, our existence, ourselves. That’s why to be on safe side, throughout our lifetime, we just keep doing transactions between ‘not mine’ and ‘mine’, trying to expand our ‘mine’ by taking from ‘not mine’.

However, when death approaches us, we realise that fuck, ‘mine’ isn’t ‘me’. ‘Mine’ is perishable and mortal. It is meant to die. But ‘Me’ is immortal. It doesn’t die. It’s eternal.

When we understand this, we become indifferent to our self created two worlds of ‘mine’ and ‘not mine’. We stop identifying ourselves with ‘mine’. We accept the reality of ‘mine’ and ‘not mine’ as they are - Destroyable. That’s when our all fears die. we now know that ‘me’ will exist forever. That’s when we meet ‘me’.

‘मैं’ और ‘मेरा’ में फ़र्क़ है, बस यही सीखना है.
