Be still and know that I am God

[Guest guest]

Question: What is the drift of the mind after surrender?

 

Sri Ramana Maharshi: Is the surrendered mind raising the question?

 

Questioner: By constantly desiring to surrender I hope that

increasing grace is experienced.

 

Sri Ramana Maharshi: Surrender once for all and be done with the

desire. So long as the sense of doership is retained there is the

desire. That is also personality. If this goes the Self is found to

shine forth pure. The sense of doership is the bondage and not the

actions themselves.

 

`Be still and know that I am God'. Here stillness is total surrender

without a vestige of individuality. Stillness will prevail and there

will be no agitation of mind. Agitation of mind is the cause of

desire, the sense of doership and personality. If that is stopped

there is quiet. There `knowing' means `being'. It is not the relative

knowledge involving the triads, knowledge, knowing and known.

 

Hari Aum !!!
