We have an amazing quality. We like to possess everything. We like to claim titles. Why do we do that, simple, it gives us an ego boost that I own that thing. We try to protect them and we are defensive about them. But are we defensive about those things or about our ego because if they will not be there, even our ego will have to become smaller. Now, if you look at teh things closely, if any of the things which you fear to lose, did actually belong to you? If they belonged to you, how would you lose them? I have bought a toy and I feel it belongs to me because I bought it, so i do not fear that if it can be with me or not because I know its mine. Then why are we afraid of the things which we feel are ours and can be taken away. The things which really belong to us can never be taken away. If something is, it means it was never ours. Every thing you have here is to help you, to support you, to facilitate the learnings on this Earth, so that the soul can learn its lessons. You get attached to things, because you feel they are helping you and provides you future security. But when your purpose here is complete, you have learned your lessons, you have to leave behind everything and that includes this body too. That is why this body is mortal or else it would not have been. Whatever you think belongs to you, actually is given to you assist your stay on this Earth and when you go from here, you leave that thing. You are not this body, this body is your vehicle. When the car gets old, you buy a new one, same way, soul also gets a new vehicle. So do not be afard of losing anything because you cant lose what was not yours.
