True surrender !!

[Guest guest]

Surrender to the God! We hear this word many times from many saints,

scriputres and religions. But is our surrender a true surrender to

the supreme ?

 

What most of us know of surrender is that when we find no help from

our physical sources, when we see we have tried our best but could

not get desired thing, or when we are surrounded by negativity and we

see no way out, WE surrender to God and say O god please help me I am

surrendering myself to you.

 

Though this surrender is not wrong, but this is not a true surrender

and God can not be fooled each time with such hypocricy.

 

A story would clarify it better.

 

Samurai as you know are holy sword-warriors of Japan. They were

great fighters as well as great spiritual beings too.

 

So once a samurai was crossing sea in a boat with his wife. That

samurai was very famous for his sword and remained undefeated. He

was highly respected by the society.

 

Suddenly there was a storm in the sea and the boat started

shaking violently. All in boat started screaming and planning on how

to save in case the boat sinks. The wife of samurai started crying

too and saw toward the samurai, who was sitting peaceful, smiling.

He was not even praying God for help.

 

Samurai's wife was very upset. She said what type of man you

are ? Everyone is worried....i am crying and you are sitting peaceful

and smiling ? you are not afraid of anything...at least for me?

 

Samurai suddenly drew his sword and started wagging it around his

wife's neck. Now the boat was shaking, there was every chance that

the sword may hit her neck and kill her...but she sat unmoved

watching surprisingly her husband.

 

Samurai asked," Tell me why you are not afraid of my sword ? The

wife smiled and said," You are the best Samurai in the world and I am

you beloved wife. I know for sure...come what may...your sword will

never hurt me.

 

Samurai said," This is an answer to your previous question. My God

is the best in the world...and I am his beloved child. Why should I

be afraid of his storms ?

 

This is the real surrender! Surrendering to god is the best

sadhna of Kaliyuga (or rather every yuga).....but we should first see

that we are not trying to fool the Supreme in the name of our

surrender.

 

Ego never surrenders because it is made to fight its way out.
