“Anything you cannot relinquish when it has outlived its usefulness, possesses you. And in this materialistic age, a great many of us are possessed by our possessions.”

“All that is great cannot be possessed - and that is one of the most foolish things man goes on doing. We want to possess.”

“Whatever you cannot understand, you cannot possess. ”

“We attribute to ourselves qualities that we do not possess because if we possessed them, our lives would exactly mirror our image of ourselves. Our lies about what is really happening in our lives are what we use to "patch up" our ego with rationalizations and justifications, all of which conceal from us the fact that we cannot really do anything because we have no Being.”

“Obsessing about things isn’t good for you. It’s a form of possessing things and at some level of awareness; we possess nothing. That’s how we get free of being possessed by our possessions.”

“Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything - anger, anxiety, or possessions - we cannot be free.”
