Srimad-Bhagavatam Lectures

So one is trying to renounce this world by practice. Because unless you become fully conscious that anything you are possessing, that does not belong to you, that belongs to Kṛṣṇa, so long you will be allowed to enjoy it under the false impression, egotism, that, "It is mine." Because you have come here to possess something as your property, so Kṛṣṇa will give you. Just like father gives children . . . they are fighting. So father gives some toys, "Now it is your. So that's all right, play. Don't fight." So similarly . . . the toy does not belong to the child.

So in order to become nirmama . . . because here, material world, we are simply fighting, "It is mine, mine." The Arabians, they are, "This oil tank, this oil deposit is mine." Or "our." The same thing—individually or collectively. You just make up a gang, and you steal something, and then you say: "It is our." Your possession is by stealing, but still, you are claiming, "It is our." So the petrol tank belongs to God, but some way or other, they are in possession. They fighting it, "It is our." So this is called mama. So one has to become nirmama. "It is not mine. It is Kṛṣṇa's." Immediately you become nirmama. Everything is bondage so long you claim, "It is mine." And as soon as you understand, "It is not mine; it is Kṛṣṇa's," then you are free. This is the difference of bondage and freedom. Actually, everything belongs to Kṛṣṇa. Everything. Īśāvāsyam idaṁ sarvam (ISO 1). So this consciousness required.

So somebody is trying to be nirmama, to become free from the false idea, "It is mine," by renouncing. And if one knows perfectly well that, "It is not mine; it is Kṛṣṇa's," then he hasn't got to do anything artificially. If you know that, "Everything belongs to Kṛṣṇa. I am not the owner. I am given the chance to use it," tena tyaktena bhuñjīthāḥ, whatever allotment is given to you, you can use. Prasādam. Kṛṣṇa . . . actually, eatable belongs to Kṛṣṇa. So after eating, whatever He gives you, you also eat this. That is required.

So one is trying to renounce this world by practice. Because unless you become fully conscious that anything you are possessing, that does not belong to you, that belongs to Kṛṣṇa, so long you will be allowed to enjoy it under the false impression, egotism, that, "It is mine." Because you have come here to possess something as your property, so Kṛṣṇa will give you. Just like father gives children . . . they are fighting. So father gives some toys, "Now it is your. So that's all right, play. Don't fight." So similarly . . . the toy does not belong to the child.

It is purchased by the father. It belongs to the father. But the father gives you, "Now it is your. Don't fight with the other child," so they are satisfied. Similarly, we have been given by the supreme father, "Now this is your America. This is your India." But nothing belongs to the American or to the Indian. It belongs to the father, supreme father. So unless they come to the consciousness that "The father has given me to enjoy that this is mine, but actually it belongs to father . . ." This is called Kṛṣṇa consciousness. This is called Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
