100. Since objects other than "I," such as the body and world, do not

exist unceasingly in all the three states, but rise and appear to

exist only in between in the waking and dream states, they cannot be

the reality, which exists always and without being obstructed. This

conclusion, arrived at by scrutinizing our experience in these three

states, is the foundation for the practice of Self-inquiry.

 

101. These objects other than "I," which exist at one time and do not

exist at another time, are truly non-existent even at the time when

they appear to exist. When scrutinized, waking and dream are both

found to be only one in nature, because the objects, which appear to

exist in each of these states, unfailingly cease to exist in any

other state.

 

102. That state, in which any object seen is not experienced as other

than the one who sees, is alone the state of reality. If the seer,

who is an unreal ego, rises, then only will all the unreal objects

other than "I" rise, and seem to exist.

Jaya Sri Radhey! Namaste.

 

Surrender is the simple but profound wisdom of yielding to

rather than opposing the flow of life.

The only place where you can experience the flow of life is the Now,

so to surrender is to accept the present moment

unconditionally and without reservation.

It is to relinquish inner resistance to what is.

 

~ Eckhart Tolle

 

Most people confuse surrender with slavery

and that is why they are afraid of it.

Surrender is not slavery;

in fact, surrender frees you from slavery and brings you total

freedom

True surrender is having the awareness of God in everything,

in every feeling, action, and vision.

Whenever you look you should see the pulsation of Consciousness,

you should experience the inspiration of Consciousness.

That is true surrender.

 

~ Swami Muktananda
