SAI ON 'SURRENDER'

[Guest guest]

yes"> discouragements. You demonstrate that you do not trust Me. On the

contrary, you must rely blindly on Me. To surrender means: To turn your

thoughts away from troubles, to turn them away from difficulties you encounter

and from all your problems. Leave everything into My hands saying "Lord, Thy

will be done. Thou think of it." That is to say, "Lord, I thank you, for you

have taken everything in your hands, and you will resolve this for my highest

good. “Remember that thinking of the consequences of a thing is contrary to

surrender. That is to say, when you worry that a situation has not had the

desired outcome, you thus demonstrate that you do not believe in My love for

you. You will prove that you do not consider your life to be under My control

and that nothing escapes Me. Never think: "How is this

to end? What is going to happen?" If you give into this temptation, you

demonstrate that you do not trust Me to deal with it...yes, or no? Then you

just stop being anxious about it! I shall guide you only if you completely

surrender to Me, and when I must lead you into a different path than the one

that you expect, I carry you in My arms. What seriously upsets you is your

reasoning, your worrying, your obsession, your will to provide for yourselves

at any price. I can do so many things when the being, as much in his material

necessities as in his spiritual ones turns to Me saying: "You think of it,"

then closes his eyes and rests quietly. You will receive a lot but only when

your prayer will rely fully on Me. You pray to Me when in pain so that I

intervene, but in the way you desire it. You do not rely on Me,

but you want Me to adjust your requests. Don't behave like sick ones who ask a

treatment to the doctor, all the time suggesting it to him. Do not do that;

rather, even in sad circumstances, say: "Lord, I praise and thank You for this

problem, for this necessity. I pray You arrange this as You please for this

terrestrial and temporal life. You know very well what is best for me."

Sometimes you feel that disasters increase instead of diminish. Do not get

agitated. Close your eyes and tell me with faith: "Thy will be done. You think

of it." And when you speak thus, I accomplish a miracle when necessary. I only

think of it when you trust me

totally. I always think of you, but I can only help you completely when you rely

fully on Me. Sri Sathya Sai Baba
