What is not 'you' is luggage; less luggage, more comfort

Reduce the luggage you carry about when on the journey of life. Remember, all that is not ‘you’ is luggage. The mind, the senses, the intelligence, the imagination, the desires, the plans, the prejudices, the discontent, the distress - all are items of luggage. Jettison them, soon, to make your travel lighter, safer and more comfortable. Less luggage, more comfort.
BABA

All what is not 'me' is luggage? There was a baggage wagon with luggage in my dream and you were also on that wagon.  All what is 'not me', that is about everything. That is inside teaching.
Waiting waiting to find what was in the self, when everything seemed mind only.
Everything outside, if it was job, parent's house or the environment, it was not self-motivated. And here Baba tells it is in our thoughts and in desires.
What is 'me'? The self only.
Therefore, the mind the senses, the intelligence, the imagination, the desires, the plans, the prejudices.
And all the discontent... is also not 'that'. The self is light, love, beauty and truth, there is no discontent and distress.

And that is what I like about the sutras, they get us inside in touch with the higher self, because if we see the inner light as finest hearing..., it tells something about the higher self and it belongs to the higher self.
But I didn't see it as limiting desires, but it was kind of present as result. In looking for the self, only that mattered and desires were not the self, but there was a desire to make it self-controlled and not mind-controlled. Everything around was mind-controlled, where was the self?  
Everything mind, outside, the planing got us there.
The mind world of the neighbor. He thought it was self-control, just will power and a man's world, but it was not self-control, it was mind control and turned into manipulation 
The mind is made of desires, if we get rid of desires we get rid of the mind and that is the path to get to self-realization.
