Surrender to the Divinity within You

On the path of devotion it is absolute surrender which makes the individual soul

expand and become merged with God. It is when you relinquish your limited

individuality by surrendering yourself to the divinity inherent within you that

all your weaknesses will leave you and you will develop the broadness of mind

that finally culminates in your mergence with God. How can you gain this

understanding of your divine nature? How can you recognize the divinity within

you so that you can follow its directions? It is only through steady practice

that you will acquire this realization.

To acquire even the smallest skills in the world, you have to constantly

practice, be it reading, writing, walking or talking. All of these are

developed through practice alone. If you start your practice at the first step

then eventually you will be able to reach the last step. In this case, the last

step means acquiring the supreme knowledge that makes you free.

There are two types of knowledge. One refers to spiritual knowledge, the other

to knowledge of the physical world. Inquiring into the various properties of an

object is the ordinary knowledge associated with the world. But understanding

the inner principle, the underlying basis and purpose of every object that has

ever existed in the world, is spiritual knowledge; that is what can be called

wisdom. This is a very important quality to cultivate. Even for understanding

the world in its deeper aspects, you first have to acquire spiritual wisdom.

To gain spiritual wisdom you must use your body wisely and have your mind and

your senses under control. Without the body it is not possible to perform any

activity. For all types of work and activities, the body is needed; it is the

basis for all practices. Use your body for the purpose of reaching your goal

and in performing activities which will be useful to others. Here is a small

example.
