Possessiveness

 

 

This whole existence is one cosmic unity.

 

Out of this understanding comes nonviolence.

 

The second is non-possessiveness. If the whole existence is one, and if the existence goes on taking care of trees, of animals, of mountains, of oceans -- from the smallest blade of grass to the biggest star -- then it will take care of you too. Why be possessive? Possessiveness shows simply one thing: that you can't trust existence; you have to arrange separate security for yourself, safety for yourself. You cannot trust existence.

 

Non-possessiveness is basically trust in existence.

 

There is no need to possess, because the whole is already ours.

 

-Osho, "Beyond Psychology, #28, Q1"
