Surrender - Fullness of Faith - What Is Surrendered? Part 02

[Guest guest]

What do we have that we can surrender to God? Everything is his

already. The flower which we offer at his feet is plucked from his

garden. The service which we offer is his gift to us. Our " Surrender "

is actually our acceptance of divine will. It is renunciation of the

illusion of separateness. It is abandonment of the ego that

says, " This is mine " .

 

Surrender requires us to discard all that does not bring us closer to

God realization. Our attachments and desires for material

acquisitions and emotional satisfactions must be released. We must

perform action without desire for the results; the results rest in

God's hands.

 

" Surrendering to the Lord is surrendering all thoughts and actions,

not wishing for the fruits of the action, not doing action to gain

its fruit, but doing the action because it is one's duty. The act is

dedicated to the Lord and the results, therefore, are borne by the

Lord " Baba
