Where do you belong to? When you say you are from place ‘X’. X has a special place in your heart. You call it your city. You feel my-ness and sense of security being in X. Wherever you go and stay in the world, you will belong to X alone. Right?
When you say you belong to your family, what does it mean? You feel comfortable with your family and you feel that it belongs to you and you have right over your family. It is the closeness of relationship. Right?
In office, when we say so and so person belongs to the manager/boss. It means that person reports and is confident of manager/boss. That person will not be afraid/intimidated by anyone in lesser authority then manager/boss. Right?
Now what does belonging to Baba mean? Do we realise that who ever we may interact with/who ever we may stay with/who ever we may spend time with but we belong to God alone. When we belong to some one, our priorities change putting that person in priority. We shape our life and priorities according to the requirements of the person whom we belong to naturally. This is belonging. When we learn to belong to Baba, we learn to have right over our Father We learn to really be with Baba. Then we can say we are children of Supreme Baba. Until then we remain in Bhakti and do not understand the knowledge. This sense of "My Baba" and I belong to no one but Baba is essential in spiritual practice. Now check if you are remembering Baba, what was the belonging ness you felt in this process? If you are being with Baba, what did Baba mean for you? Did He mean just another good Soul or did He mean world for you? To what extent were you able to love Baba? Was it just love a fellow being or love that sweeps us off ground?
