Someone who thinks “I possess nothing because everythihg belongs to God” truly understands the “self” Srila Prabhupada explains: “Just like a child wants to do something according to his whims. Father checks him, My dear child, do not do this. But if he likes, if he persists, father says, All right, you do it. This is the position. The Hrsikesa, Paramatma, He is always guiding us, but we do not accept His guidance. This is our position. Arjuna has accepted Krsna, that I shall be guided by You. Although Youll not fight. Therefore here it is said, Hrsikesa, Hes guiding Arjuna. The hrsika means the senses. Hrsika-isa. Isa means Lord, master, isvara or isa. So Hrsikesa. Actually, He is the master of the senses. In the Bhagavad-gita you will find. In the Eleventh Chapter it is said, sarvatah pani-padam tat, God has His hands and legs all over the universe. What is that? This, our hand, our legs, this is Gods hands, Gods leg. He is the master. I am claiming, This is my hand, but as soon as God withdraws the power of your hand, it is paralyzed, you cannot repair. Therefore the real proprietor is Krsna. You are not proprietor. You have been given the facility to use it, for..., use it not for your sense gratification, but for the satisfaction of the Lord. Then your life is perfect. Because the things belongs to Krsna. He is Hrsikesa. He is the master. Just like we are sitting in this house. Somebody has given us. Similarly, everything belongs to God. This is self-realization. My body belongs to God, my mind belongs to God, my intelligence belongs to God, I am spirit soul, I am part and parcel of God. Therefore everything belongs to...Isavasyam idam sarvam [Iso mantra 1]. Everything belongs to God. So if you dont use it for God, that is called demonism. And if you use it for God, that is devotion. Thats all.” prabhupadavani.org/main/Bhagavatam/157.html
