Self alone IS, Nothing else exists.

[Guest guest]

When we start accepting all that is happening to us without questioning, we are really on the path of surrender. When we do not resent or react to the situations we are put in, we are surely on the path of surrender. Reactions stem only in the mind. The Self never reacts to any thing or any situation or any body. Self knows intrinsically that there is none other. Hence it is full of Joy, full of peace and full of knowledge. It alone IS. Nothing else exists. It is All the sum total of everything which is perceived by the Mind and senses. In fact all the perceptions are nothing but illusion. The so called pleasure, the so called sorrow, all this is pure illusion. When the Self is reflected in the Mind, Cosmos emerge with various creations etc. If you remove the Mind, the Self alone IS. Hence the mischief maker is the Mind which is akin to a mirror. We are deluded by the mirror effect and take the reflections as real whereas Reality is ONE only. Hence observe the mind and thoughts as a mute witness and do not get entangled in the thinking process. Sairam.
