Numbers 18:20 · World English Bible
Yahweh said to Aaron, “You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any portion among them. I am your portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel.
The ego is forever measuring what it owns, marking out its portion of the world, certain that identity is something you accumulate and hold. Yet no possession has ever made anyone whole, because the things of form come and go and can never be the ground of who you are.
From the Ego v. Being reading below.

EGO & BEING
The ego is forever measuring what it owns, marking out its portion of the world, certain that identity is something you accumulate and hold. Yet no possession has ever made anyone whole, because the things of form come and go and can never be the ground of who you are.
To be told you have no earthly inheritance is not a loss. It is release from the endless seeking. What you truly have is not a piece of the world but the living presence of God, and it asks for nothing to be added to it, because unlike land, it can never be taken away.
Ego v. Being lens
If nothing you own is who you are, what is left, and is it less than you feared?
The one who knows they have enough is already rich. Chasing more is a thirst that drinking cannot end.
Suffering grows out of clinging. Everything you hold is already changing shape in your hands, so peace comes from loosening the grip, not from holding tighter.
You do not own your house, your money, or your reputation. They are on loan, and the only thing truly yours is the part of you that chooses how to meet the day.
