1) Does someone or something own or dominate you?
Ex. A person in your life? A thought?
2) Do you want to own or dominate something?
Ex. A goal? An action?
Here are some golden words from Ibn Arabi:
“Nothing is owned unless it is dominated,
and nothing is dominated unless it is confined,
and nothing is confined unless it is newly arrived,
and nothing arrives newly except the [potential] non-existence.”
Now read the above in the context of 1.
Read the above in the context of 2.
