So that which no longer exists after one leaves this world is the limit of the limit of one's mamata. Mamata beyond this boundry should be removed. So what kind of mamata should go away? The mamata, 'my-ness' towards your one and only son should go away and similarly any other such mamata elsewhere should also go away. This is not mere talk. Elsewhere people can multiply the non-truth with non-truth and still pass the exam. But one cannot pass the examination of the Gnani. Here one cannot get by with just idle talks. With the Gnani you need 'exactness.'
Mamata of the Insurance Agent
If a ship is sinking and the insurance agent is watching, will it have an effect on him? If the ship ends up sinking, will he not have to pay money?
Questioner: Yes, he has to pay.
Dadashri: But will he be affected by it personally?
Questioner: He will not be affected personally.
Dadashri: Why is that? So if something belonging to a business is lost, who will worry about it? Everyone claims, 'this is our', but do they have any mamata?
So there should be two kinds of mamata. You should have full mamata over your body. And mamata on external things which has spread out, should be like this mamata.
“This house is mine, this watch is mine, this ring is mine,' all this is extended mamata. But really, they will remove all your jewelry and everything else when you leave.
There should be a boundary (limitations) for mamata. Should there not be a boundary for everything? So should there not be a boundary for mamata too?
Questioner: So does that not mean that one should not have raagdwesh towards things of extended mamata?
