________________ separation due to differences matabheda in our home.' But what do they do when they fight with each other in the home? Do two people not fight with each other in the home? Questioner: Yes they do. Dadashri: What do they do at that time? Will they not say, 'You are like this', and she will say, 'You are like that' Where do these differences end up? It all comes down to, 'From now on, I am all alone. No one is mine. No one else is mine.' This same old divisive vision,'yours and mine, yours and mine' continues over and over again. The boundary of mamata--My-ness' One man tells me, 'I cannot get rid of my mamata.' I told him, 'How can you get rid of it? As far as you know, whatever falls within the boundary of your property is yours, is that correct? Or do you claim you own things beyond that boundary? You are able to define certain boundaries, are you not? So can you show me the boundary of mamata? What is the boundary of mamata? Other people too can show you the boundary of your house but do you not need to define the boundary of mamata as well? People have not seen the boundary of mamata. Everything looks good with a boundary. Do you look beyond the boundaries of your home and say that the house next door is also yours? Questioner: No. Dadashri: Does the house not have a boundary too? You don't claim the neighbor's house as yours do you? So, what I am saying is let mamata be but it should be within a boundary. So what should be the boundary of mamata? Your boundary, whatever you have had mamata for will come with you when you die; that is the boundary of mamata. The limitations of mamata means as long as you are living, it will remain yours and not after you die. The Lord has said to have mamata towards your finger, according to the Lord you may say 'this is my finger', but He has said that we should not have mamata for the ring on the finger. Why, because the ring will be taken away; it will be left behind. Will they not take away the ring? And sometimes if the ring does not come out, they will even break the finger inorder to take it out! So do not have mamata there.
