What is our claim?

This land does not belong to us

The house which we built on the land ultimately does not belong to us

The family in the house ultimately does not belong to us. It can be taken away from us anytime.

The property accumulated for years in that house does not forever belong to us either.

The country which we choose to build that house does not belong to us, though we enjoy  and suffer on how it dictates.

Our bodies given to us in this life time also do not belong to us, though we use it, misuse it  or even abuse it sometimes.

The fame, name and glory achieved through that body is also temporary and goes way and does not belong to us. 

So, ultimately what belongs to us? And who are we?

Before realizing what belongs to us we should know the fact that we belong to God as his part and parcel and our (real but not apparent in present state) desire is to love him. And this is our rightful and natural use of our free will. Any desire contrary to that desire is illusory  and takes us through different identities and forms ultimately to only end up in frustration. Can we honestly disagree on this point ?
