The ego calls an achievement when someone acquires material prosperity and control over others, whereas the process of liberation starts with the acceptance of the truth.

The ownership over others and any desire of changing and controlling others go against the liberation.
(Taken from annotations of stanzas 203-204) In true sense, that which always stays with you is yours. Acarya Kundakunda is using this criterion to state that the Self is the possession of the Self.

An enlightened being does not commit any mistake of identifying others, such as physical body, as the Self. However, such an enlightened being as a person may have worldly liking and disliking. This stanza asserts that despite the presence of such liking and disliking, he as a soul remains unattached with these, i.e., he as a soul does not consider himself an owner of such liking and disliking.
