Non-attachment means giving up the notion of 'I'

Description

What is the meaning of non-attachment? Its essence lies in giving up the notion of "I" and "mine." This is commonly interpreted to mean giving up physical possessions, retiring to the forest, wearing saffron robes and living the life of a mendicant. But it is not so. It refers not so much to the renunciation of possessions but to renouncing the idea of possessor. As Sathya Sai Baba said: "The body is the house given to you on rent. The owner is God. Live there so long as He wills, thanking Him and paying Him the rent of faith and devotion." Read more at: https://www.deccanherald.com/content/397981/non-attachment-means-giving-up.html
