The following quote was found in God Makes the Rivers to Flow; An Anthology of the World’s Sacred Poetry & Prose as collected by Eknath Easwaran.  My reflections on the passage follow and were partially inspired by an incident in which I had multiple valuables stolen by a woman I had been living with.

The Lord is enshrined in the hearts of all.
The Lord is the supreme reality.
Rejoice in him through renunciation.
Covet nothing.  All belongs to the Lord.
Thus working may you live a hundred years.
Thus alone can you work in full freedom.
—from “The Inner Ruler” in the Isha Upanishad

Let It Go 

You may think the thief who stole from you does not know God, but her hands are the very hands of God, her voice is the very voice of God, what she hears, God hears, what she sees, God sees, what she owns, God owns.

What was yours is God’s.  You have lost nothing.

What you think you lost was a thing of God’s beauty transferred from one emanation of God to another.

You cannot lose God.  There is always more of God.

Let it go.  Let go your attachment to the things you own.  In truth, you own nothing.

Your things have flowed into your life through God’s grace and goodness, and when you dissolve into God, they will be as much left behind as they are present, for they are part of the oneness.  They are a dense manifestation of God that stays in the material realm—with which you are always connected even when you have passed into another realm of experience.

Do not think that when others have something you lack it.  There is no lack in God, only the illusion of lack in the material realm.

When you realize that nothing is yours and everything is yours and are willing to let things pass out of your hands without regret, you will know the truth of God.  Your soul will be free and there will arise within you a joy beyond having, a joy that is pure being.

Celebrate your loss, because within it is the opportunity to discover freedom from material things, the freedom that is your true divine identity.
