Guest guest Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 .... But, Ramesh, if everything is dissolved, how can we surrender!? That is the point; everything dissolves. There is no "one" to surrender, no "one" to comprehend. Surrender happens. Understanding happens without any individual comprehending or surrendering. And that is the transformation; the disappearance of the "me", the "one", the "who". So, there's no fear of surrendering, no sacrifice. Exactly! As long as there is someone to sacrifice, it is not sacrifice. Take humility. You say, "I am humble. I'm not proud". The proudest people perform acts of humility. Real humility means the absence of that which can feel humble or proud. That is true humility. That is true compassion, when there is no one who feels, "I am being compassionate". There is love when there is no one to say, "I love". Compassion, love, humility, these are various names for that state of here and now, without the "me". ... Conversations with Ramesh S.
