What? Surrender?

 

What is surrendering to Sadguru? As

said in many instances, is it following Sadguru to the letter, in

thoughts, words and deeds? If so, is it easy to " accomplish " ? How many

births would it take to garner this as an enterprise? An ambition or a

life-long mission with the intellect unleashed? Someone that can line up his

thoughts, words, and actions is a Yogi, someone that has achieved a

state of continuum with the infinite. This is harmony in its most

perfect state. Such specks of truth are rare. Sai Satcharitha has

examples of those souls that surrendered completely to the will of

Saibaba and for them everything else was secondary. Do we know if they

followed the principles of thoughts, words, and action? No! Once, Nana smitten by the beauty of

the lady that visited Saibaba was having difficulty to curb his

enthusiasm. Baba commented that it is the nature of the mind to be

restless but body should be kept in check. Is there any advice that is

more practical? It is with such messages that Baba taught the practical

way of living and not through any metaphysical rigor. Fortunate are those devotees that

had the bounty of Sadguru's physical presence and guidance in their

daily lives. For they didn't have anything except implicit faith in

Sadguru's words and the loving disposition to make Sadguru happy

always. For them, nothing else matters. It is not known whether surrender

might be a lengthy process of stepwise accession well spelt and guided

in the light of scriptures. But, when love for Sadguru is sparked in

the hearts and when the spark flames into eternal fires that consume

everything on its way in hunger for Sadguru, surrender sure happens

unsolicited without even being aware of it. -- OM GURU NATHASAI GURU NATHA
