Questioner: "My" is always there.
Dadashri: What are all the things that fall under "my"?
Questioner: My home and all the things inside my home. Dadashri: Are all of those things yours? To whom does the wife belong?
Questioner: She is also mine.
Dadashri: And these children?
Questioner: They are also mine.
Dadashri: And this watch?
Questioner: That is also mine.
Dadashri: And these hands, whose hands are these?
Questioner: They are also mine.
Dadashri: Then you will say, "My head, my body, my feet, my ears, my eyes." All these parts of your body fall under "my." Then who is the person that is saying this word, "my"? Who is the one that says all these things are "mine"? Have you ever thought about that? When you say, "My name is Chandulal," and then you turn around and say, "I am Chandulal," do you not think there is a contradiction in this?
Questioner: Yes, I think so.
Dadashri: You are Chandulal right now. In this Chandulal there are both "I" and "my." They are like the two railway lines of “I” and “my”; they always run together yet they are always separate. They are always parallel and never become one. Despite this, you believe them to be one. This is due to the ignorance or unawareness of your true identity. Having understood
