Baba said, 'here, no one is ours; our only one is Allah.' What is the context of this statement, and what does it suggest about connection and belonging?

This profound statement from Sai Baba addresses the nature of worldly attachments and ultimate belonging. As described in Chapter 14, Baba would often ask for Dakshina from those who came to him for darshan. He would tell his devotees, "In the world, someone belongs to someone, and another to someone else; but here, no one is ours; our only one is Allah." This suggests that while earthly relationships are transient, the true and constant connection is with the divine. He encouraged devotees to sit peacefully near Him, assuring them of His support while pointing towards this higher truth, away from the feeling of being alone in the world.
