Words from the Master

A small story:

A man decided that he was going to surrender but did not know whom to surrender to.
He decided that he would go to the forest and surrender to the first person who comes his way.
He went and waited in the forest.
The first person to appear was a burglar who was escaping from policemen who were chasing him.
The man caught his feet and declared that the burglar was his Guru and that he had surrendered to him.
The burglar was perplexed and did not know what to do.
He replied hastily, “Alright, if it is so, then close your eyes and remain here till I come back, and he ran away.”
The man was a very committed person and remained there without food or sleep for a very long time.
Just by seeing his commitment, the Lord appeared before him and embraced him and gave him liberation.

It is not important to whom you surrender; it is the thought of total surrender that has the power to change your life into a blissful one. When you surrender, you become a possessor of the inexhaustible energy that is Existence, and you can carry on with anything that comes your way.

You become strong and unshakeable, come what may. People around you will find you to be a pillar of strength. They will be able to feel the invisible hand of Existence through you. If you have not surrendered, it means that your ego is still holding you back from merging into the Infinite and you automatically become finite in your resources and energy.

A Master is a device to help you surrender. Surrender does not mean that you are dependent on someone. It simply means that you are taking their help in dissolving your own ego.

Yes…?
