Become free of all possessions

The Brahman said:

  1. The acquisition of anything whatsoever that men hold as dearest leads to misery. But he who knows this gives up all possession attains to endless bliss.
  2. An osprey with a piece of flesh was tormented by others, stronger than itself, that had no flesh. It gave that flesh up and became happy.
  3. I do not care for honor or dishonor, nor have I any anxiety such as men with houses and children have. I sport with the Self, take pleasure in the Self and roam on earth like a child.
  4. Two people only are free from anxiety and immersed in supreme bliss—the child that knows nothing and never works and the man who has realized the Being above the Gunas.

Prakriti comprises the three gunas, Sattva (balance), Rajas (activity) and Tamas (inertia).

Be free of possessions and gain victory over the gunas and become detached.
