‘I’ means continuously doing. ‘Mine’ means continuously having.

‘I’ and ‘Mine’

 

‘I’ is the ego, the root of fear. ‘Mine’ is the root of greed

‘I’  is the ego, the root of fear. ‘Mine’ – ‘this is my house’, ‘that is my car’, ‘these are my friends’ – is the root of greed.

‘I’ means continuously doing. ‘Mine’ means continuously having. Continuously you try to expand your boundary. Continuously you try to change the things outside. You want to expand your boundary of ‘mine’. For example, you have a basic car now but you want to have a more luxurious car. You may want more than one car. You have a house to live in, but you want a bigger house. This kind of personality is based on

having. Such people feel happy, secure and relaxed only when they continuously possess more and more things.

Continuously possessing things is nothing but a feeling of deep insecurity.

The deep feeling of insecurity and fear drives us to more greed, to continuously try to possess more things. Continuously possessing things is nothing but a feeling of deep insecurity. You can see the idea of continuously possessing more and more things is just because of fear and insecurity.

We usually feel more secure if we have more friends, more relatives, and more things around us. With more security, we feel we will not be taken away from this world.
