NOTHING IS OURS IN THIS WORLD
It is the most precious thing for us now. It is our own! All that we have is because of it. Without this we are none. We have not bought it, but came to us. We cannot turn down it or wait for it. Such great thing of ours now belonged to our near and dear little while ago. Little more time behind it belonged to our neighbours, our friends and our enemies. Some more time ago it belonged to unknown people, well known people, scholars, writers, teachers, priests or thieves. Years ago it belonged to kings, people we worship, people who harmed us a lot, people who made history, it belonged to wild animals and birds, our pets and the list goes on and on. What is it? It is nothing but the air we have breathed in a little while ago. It is in us. We are alive because of it. We cannot be alive without this. We believe that it belong to us, yes, only for a little while. Everyone had it earlier thought it was theirs. In fact it belonged to none.
Our beautiful and healthy body too is not ours. It was in the soil at some parts of the earth. It will again go back to the soil at some parts of the earth. Some great men possessed it. Some ugly one and some beautiful one too possessed it. Lepers and beggers possessed it. Animals, snakes, fishes and birds possessed it. Now it is ours. Anytime it may go to something or someone. Now we proudly say it is me. Who is me? I am nothing but a big ego and an unshaped imagination! What is that I can say as mine?
