Sense of belongingness

My friend came to me and we went on long drive in my car. The road was rough and full of pits. Every time, when there was jerk in car, I felt like saying and sometimes said also that driver should drive the vehicle carefully. My friend was enjoying the journey more than me because my attention was diverted towards car. And I was having a sort of discomfort.

Then discussions took turn and my friend offered to purchase car for an amount. I agreed. He gave me meagre amount as token money. We shook hands and said that the car now belonged to my friend (of course with his liability to pay cost later on). After some time, position was reversed. I was enjoying more than him and he was pulling up the driver.

We remained in same journey, in same car, in same circumstances but our angle of thinking was changed. Why? It was sense of belongingness, which caused all this.

The proprietor and manager of small store are almost managing the show of their business in same manner. But proprietor is more concerned and remains more under tension as compared to manager. Manager has to manage the day and report the outcome to proprietor. He is not so much affected by profits and strength of unit as proprietor is. Both are in same store, in same time, in same circumstances. The problem is sense of belongingness.

My ponderings led me to believe that God has given us human life and he has given us much infrastructural support in form of family members, social circles, livelihood, wealth, assets to enjoy etc. etc. If we treat ourselves owner of these instead of trustee to take care of same, we get deeper sense of belongingness and we always remain under mental tension to maintain same. If we treat all as gifts of God with responsibility to take care of same with sincerity, we enjoy life fully without tension. We are advised by divine father to take care and report the outcome to HIM, seek HIS guidance and support to remove obstacles and to relish the life full extent. Everything belongs to God almighty. You have to simply enjoy. If anything gets spoiled because circumstances were beyond your control, report the matter to DIVINE MANAGEMENT – be relaxed. Now that management has liability to respond to your request – to support you. Your responsibility is over. Your responsibility is to be sincere in life, abide by God’s commands, enjoy gifts given by him, depend on HIM. Don’t become owner of your life or you will miss support of your DIVINE PARTNER. Become an employee and relish the life avoiding all sense of belongingness.
