About other living beings (spouse, son, daughter, friend, etc.), non-living (house, gold, grain, etc.), or mixed objects (city, country, living being with ornaments, etc.), one may have notions that I am this, this is me, I belong to this, this is mine, in the past this was mine and I belonged to this, in the future this will be mine and I will belong to this. [20-21]
A deluded one has such false notions about oneself. (But] one who knows the reality does not have such wrong notions and is a Jñāni (an enlightened soul, or one with right belief and knowledge). [22]
Annotation
In day-to-day life everybody speaks sentences such as: This is my body. I am his son. This was my house. Soon we will have our baby..., and so on. One who knows the truth transcends such views. He does not identify himself with the body or house or family or possessions. A Jñāni person understands the real point of view. A Jñānī knows that he is not the physical body. He is eternal and changeless soul.
In short, to identify oneself with others (I-ness with others) (Ekatva) as well as to own others (my-ness with others) (Mamatva) is spiritually incorrect.
