The perceiver should not attach himself to the perceived; that is the way to

earn freedom. The contact of the senses with the object gives rise to desire

and attachment; this leads to effort and either elation or despair; then, there

is the fear of loss or grief at failure and the train of reactions lengthens.

With many doors and windows kept open to all the winds that blow, how can the

flame of the lamp within survive? That lamp is the mind, which must burn

steadily, unaffected by the dual demands of the world outside. Complete

surrender to the Lord is one way of closing the windows and doors, for in that

stage of Sharanagathi (complete surrender to God), you are not buffeted by joy

or grief. Complete surrender makes you draw upon the Grace of the Lord for

meeting all the crises and renders you heroic and better prepared for the

battle of life.- Baba
