Belief that creates mamata-myness
There is nothing in the worldly life that hinders you. What is there in the world to hinder you? Where nothing is truly yours, you believed it to be yours.

Questioner: But how can mamata go away?
Dadashri: Your mamata is gone after attaining this Gnan. Now why would you want to remove it again? Your 'shop' was a partnership between you and Chandulal and now it is divided.
