Mine and Thine

Mine binds; Thine liberates.
Sri Swami Satchidinanda

Is that not true?  When we live in a world where we want everything  to be "mine" are we not bound by the disease of attachment?  Do we end up focusing all our precious life energy on attaining, maintaining, claiming, holding, clinging, protecting , defending and attacking for the sake of the "Mine" label?  Mine is ego's word and it wants us to use it in reverence to it.

What if we were to say no to ego and yes to God?  What if we were to allow Life, in all It's glorious wisdom, to decide for us? What would happen if we put aside our need to control and just say, "Thine Will be done"?  How freeing would that be?  

What if we were to make  everything we do on this planet,  a gift to all beings instead of  just to this one little being who is still stuck in the "me,me" stage of infancy? Would we not be happier and lighter?

I want to put down the Mine and pick up the Thine?  What about you?

All is well in my world.
