Surrender - Fullness of Faith - The Guards at the Gate Part 05

[Guest guest]

When we practice surrender, we must exercise patience and fortitude.

It is not possible for us to demonstrate surrender to God's will in

one day. The Lord tests his devotees to measure the degree of their

faith and strength. And so we must constantly remember to trust the

Lord. It is not up to us to judge what is good or bad. Surrender must

be real, not a practice followed only if it yields quick results.

Surrender requires acceptance of suffering as well as joy, defeat as

well as victory. With time we will reach our Atmic destiny, but

effort and patience are needed on the way.

 

" If you want to enter the palace of 'Moksha', or liberation, you will

find that at the main enterance there are two guards. This entrance

is the place where you offer yourself, and it may be called the gate

of surrender. The two guards who are there are called 'Srama "

(effort) and 'Dama' (patience) However much you offer yourself in

surrender. It is not possible for you to enter God's abode without

Srama and Dama. " Baba
