You may possess things—but do you truly own them?
In this eye-opening chapter from The Value of Values by Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati ‪@sda_rishikesh‬) , we reflect on Aśakti, the absence of possessive attachment or ownership.

📿 Aśakti means relating to things factually—not notionally.

I may live in a house, but I didn’t create the land or the materials.
I may use a body, but I didn't design or produce it.
Even my phone—do I own the software in it?
🏠 Ownership is a notion. Possession is a fact.
The wise see this clearly. And when you see it, you are free—not through detachment, but through understanding. Clinging fades. Objectivity arises.

This chapter expands on the value of vairāgya (dispassion), showing how even our most personal claims—like over our body—are fundamentally temporary and interdependent.
