Yes Jinanii, it may be a fact that everything is of
His creation and everything belongs to Him, but although
everything belongs to Him, my ego is very strong in my mind.
I always think that this microcosm is mine - `I am. And this
ego sometimes says, `Oh, I don't know who God is'.

The position is like this: In your mind you have created a man.
And suppose your name is Mr. X. In your mind you have
created that little man, and your mental man says, 'I do not
recognize Mr. X.' And yet you are Mr. X and that little man
has been created by you in your mind - this is the audacity
of the human ego.

`Yes, Jinanii,
everything belongs to Him, but you know, my ego says that my
mind belongs to me.' In the practical field this is the
case. `I come from Switzerland. I have to get a passport, I
have to get a visa. I have to extend the date - so many
thoughts. But all these thoughts are connected with the
individual ego, the individual mind and you never think
that that mind also belong to Him. You think, `It is my
mind.' Everybody thinks like this.

This is all talk of the ego. So the devotees says, `All my ego,
all my egoistic expressions, are concentrated in my `I'
feeling in my mind. So it actually belongs to Him, but it is
full of `I'. The devotee says, `O Lord, take my mind - I surrender my
all.
