Guest guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord Surrender can be effected only after the perfection of detachment from sensual pleasures, accompanied by discrimination between the real and the unreal. The taints of "I" and "Mine" have to be removed by rigorous saadhana; chief among the disciples being Naamasmarana, because when you dwell on the Names of the Lord, His Majesty, His Grace, His Potency, His Pervasiveness, these get fixed in the consciousness and one's own capacities and capabilities get eclipsed in the Divine. So, humility increases and surrender is possible quite easily. This is the very purpose of human existence, to see God and merge in His Glory. All other victories are futile. The Vedas proclaim this to be the final goal of man. The Upanishads declare the path. The Geeta illumines it. The saints and sages proclaim its grandeur. Avataars come when people stray from it and get lost in the wilderness and the wastes. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. VII, Chapter 12.
