"I Carry Only What Is Mine To Carry"
The Sankalp
I put down what belongs to others and tend only to what is truly mine.
Why This Matters
Aparigraha, non-grasping, applies not just to material things but to emotional burdens — the habit of taking on responsibility for other people's inner states or outcomes. Viveka, discernment, helps us distinguish what is genuinely ours to carry from what we have unconsciously adopted. Releasing the latter is not indifference; it is clarity.

How to Live This Today
- Ask of each burden: is this actually mine to hold?
- Set down the things that others must carry for themselves.
- Aparigraha includes not clutching other people's problems.
