The Notion Of Ownership

In the past 28 sargas of Yoga Vasishta, after a brief introduction about the background, we have been seeing how Sri Ramji developed vairagya, towards the world, why he doesn't trust the world anymore.

He continues -
I find every single perception about the world to be faulty.
This like a fire has burned down the forest in my mind which was full of various ideas and concepts, all utterly wrong.
Now, I am clear, my mind is clear.
I have no love lost for the world.
My intelligence is working now.
Not the mind full of passion and emotions.
I don't have desire for any kind of enjoyment anymore.
As time goes, I am getting more and more bitter towards this world.
In the natural course, a man becomes more and more evil as he grows.
The goodness in him goes on reducing.
He goes on breaking the boundaries of civilized living.
You don't notice this on an ongoing basis because he does it silently, secretly.
Sight of beautiful women and nice gardens does not excite me.
I want to be alone.
The only joy is in peace.
Mind running after objects of pleasure can never give you peace.
I am not interested in a long life.
I am not eager to die as well.
I want a state free from miseries, be it when I am alive, or be it after I die.
I am not in any hurry.
If you think that the kingdom around you is yours, then it is yours.
Otherwise not.
If you think that the wealth around you is yours, then it is yours.
Otherwise not.
I have come across people who are told all of a sudden that their family owned 300 / 400 acres of land in a far away place which they were not aware of.
From that moment it belongs to them.
The land was there even before.
The ownership arises when you think that it is yours.
For ownership, you have to be there.
This is me and these are mine.
Ahamkara.
Ownership arises out of ahamkara.
Ownership is something that your ahamkara superimposes on objects.
Sriram Ji says - my ahamkara is washed away.
I don't own anything anymore.
Whatever gives pleasure to your senes, it is very difficult to avoid them.
Plus, man is bound by the karmic rope which forces his take birth after birth.
These are what man should strive to get relief from.
Over and above these, Kamadeva tramples the tender mind by showing beautiful women.
If this disease is not cured at a young age, then it can never be cured.
A young plant can be plucked out.
But once it takes roots and grows into a big tree, it can not be plucked.

These are all poisons.
A poison kills you only once.
But these poisons, they kill you birth after birth.
Jnanis don't get bound by pleasure, pain, relations, friendship, birth, or death even though they are in the middle of all these.

Now, Sri Ramji requests Sage Vishwamitra to give him upadesha of jnana that will give him permanent relief from bondage.
Ignorance is like a forest.
There are traps everywhere in which you get caught.
I want to get out of it fast.
I can bear the pain if someone splits me into two pieces with a saw, I am capable of that.
But I can no longer bear the pain of worldly relationships.
Pain arising out of their complications.
My mind is trembling under their pressure like a flame in wind.
I don't want to cut these bonds through aggression.
I want to do it smoothly after learning from you how to do it.
It should be smooth like how moonlight removes darkness.
Bhagawan is not in favor of harsh methods to cut the karmic bonds.
He wants it to be smooth.

Sriramji is further preempting a likely objection from the Sage that he is too young for this kind of knowledge.
I have complete control over my mind and senses meaning he is eligible for this kind of knowledge.
