All dharmas do not belong to me

All dharmas in the world may be used by me, yet not one of them belongs to me, because I am not the master of any of these dharmas; none of them was born from me or transformed out of me. Ownership does not rest with me—I only have the right to use them. Therefore, toward all dharmas in the world one should maintain an attitude of going along with conditions: if they can be used, use them for a while; if they cannot be used, do not force the matter. In any case, I possess nothing and will forever possess nothing—so long as something is useful, that is enough; why bitterly pursue it? Only when one does not seek, only when the mind is empty, does great merit (puṇya) manifest, and excellent worldly benefits come streaming in—yet they are only for my use, and still do not belong to me.
