Guest guest Posted June 10, 2003 Report Share Posted June 10, 2003 Questioner: But we are worldly. There is the wife, there are the children, friends and relatives. We cannot ignore their existence and resign ourselves to Divine will, without retaining some little of personality in us. Sri Ramana Maharshi: That means you have not surrendered as professed by you. You must only trust God. Surrender to Him and abide by His will whether He appears or vanishes. Await His pleasure. If you ask Him to do as you please, it is not surrender but command to Him. You cannot have Him obey you and yet think that you have surrendered. He knows what is best and when and how to do it. Leave everything entirely to Him. His is the burden; you have no longer any cares. All your cares are His. Such is surrender. This is Bhakti (devotion). Or, enquire to whom these questions arise. Dive deep in the Heart and remain as the Self. One of these two ways is open to the aspirant. Hari Aum !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
