Dear James,

 

Thanks for your comments and for the synchronicity expressed here.

 

As seen here, the mind often fears that giving up (or surrendering)

the endless " problem/solution " cycle will result in irresponsible

behavior -- yet paradoxically, just the opposite seems to be the

case. In surrender and true acceptance (as you noted), life becomes

a sort of spontaneous flow... compare it to the Tao -- if there is no

clinging to rocks, the river flows naturally to the ocean.

 

Rather than resulting in irresponsible behavior, life seems to take a

sort of " natural rhythm " and it becomes evident that life is living

itself... that the fear of 'irresponsibility' in fact comes from the

idea of 'responsibility' (flipsides of the same coin).

 

If the duality of responsibility/irresponsibility is seen for what it

is (in surrender/acceptance) then it ceases to be binding. With the

ending of this bondage, actions fall into the rhythm dictated by life

(which is always and only " as it should be " )... it was always " me "

and " my ideas " gumming up the works, so to speak.

 

Agreed that gratitude (and also surrender/acceptance) can't be

communicated in words... these are 'felt' things. We can offer each

other 'pointers', but actual surrender is entirely up to us. It

doesn't (usually) happen overnight, but through grace and a sense of

clarity or clear seeing, it does happen.

 

Love,

 

Omkara
