Guest guest Posted May 20, 2001 Report Share Posted May 20, 2001 **** forward from RamanaMaharshi group **** Question : "I find surrender easier. I want to adopt that path.'' Answer: "By whatever path you go, you will have to lose yourself in the One. Surrender is complete only when you reach the stage 'Thou art all' and 'Thy will be done'.'' "The state is not different from jnana. In soham there is dvaita. In surrender there is advaita. In the reality there is neither dvaita nor advaita, but That which is, is. Surrender appears easy because people imagine that, once they say with their lips, 'I surrender' and put their burdens on their Lord, they can be free and do what they like. But the fact is that you can have no likes or dislikes after your surrender and that your will should become completely non-existent, the Lord's Will taking its place. Such death of the ego is nothing different from jnana. So by whatever path you may go, you must come to jnana or oneness.'' >From Day by Day with Bhagavan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
