Surrender - Fullness Of Faith - Expressway to Success Part 06

[Guest guest]

The practice of spiritual surrender is a complete sadhana (spiritual

path). It is sufficient by itself to ensure self-realization.

Complete surrender requires a range of spiritual disciplines for its

success. Control of the ego is essential, and with that control come

humility and equanimity. Surrender requires faith and devotion to the

Lord. Faith engenders fearlessness and devotion nurtures love for all

God's creatures. Patience and effort contribute to the

accomplishment. These qualities ensure a life of service to others.

 

At the end of our journey, we find that the goal was always within

our reach. There was no other one to surrender to, for own nature is

God. There is nothing to be known and nothing to be done. There is

none other than God in all the wide creation.

 

" So long as there is this distinction in the mind of the individual

between God on the one hand and " I " of the individual on the other

hand, this cannot be accepted as complete surrender. So long as this

duality is evident, one cannot accept the situation as complete

surrender " Baba

 

The constant remembrance of God enables us to see God in all, for

everything is the play of the Lord. When we remember the Lord always,

we see him in all things. No more is required from us than sincere

faith and patience. Surrender requires no special qualifications or

prerequisites-just trust in the Lord.

 

" As a sign of this deed of surrender and in order to sustain it,

nothing more is enjoined than constant remembrance of the name. No

regimen of exhausting sadhana is prescribed. Smarana (remembrance) is

enough. " Baba
