On surrender

[Guest guest]

Just another quote from Talks By Swami Paramatmananda that answered a

long term question of mine on how to surrender to the Guru/God.

 

"Passivity is not devotion. That's not surrender. Surrender is

dynamic, that is to do your duty, to do whatever is dharma in every

situation, as an offering to God or Guru as a means to get the grace

of God or Guru. And then, don't be disappointed whichever way it

goes. If you succeed, it's o.k., it's God's will. If you fail, it's

also God's will. Don't be overly happy, don't be overly sad about the

results."

 

Jai Ma!

[[That is indeed true. Every weekend there is at least one and often two

satsang events happening here. Its great. I've gotten very attached to

them (even though I'm not supposed to be attached.. (smile) ). I guess

attachment to satsang is OK. In Amma's Heart, -Advait]]
