Prayer Of Surrender

[Guest guest]

PRAYER OF SURRENDER

 

For this Sunday we have for you an inspiring message from Swami taken from 'The

Hatfield Sai Center Magazine', March 2006 issue.

 

Why get agitated? Let Me take care of your business. I shall be the One who will

think about them. I am waiting for nothing else than your surrender to Me. I

intervene only when you know how to completely surrender to Me, then you do not

have to worry anymore about anything. Say Farewell to all fears and

discouragement. You demonstrate that you do not trust Me. On the contrary, you

must rely blindly on Me.

 

To surrender means: to turn your thoughts away from all your problems. Leave

everything into My hands saying: Lord! Thy will be done, Thou think of it. That

is to say: Lord, I thank you for You have taken everything in Your hands and you

will resolve this for my highest good.

 

Remember that thinking of the consequences of a thing is contrary to surrender;

that is to say when you worry that a situation has not had the desired outcome.

You thus demonstrate that you don't believe in My love for you. You will prove

that you don't consider your life to be under My control and that nothing

escapes Me.

 

Never think: how is this going to end? What is going to happen? If you give into

this temptation you demonstrate that you don't trust Me. Do you want Me to deal

with it, yes or no? Then you must stop being anxious about it. I shall guide you

only if you completely surrender to Me and when I must lead you into a different

path than the one that you expect, I carry you in My arms.

 

What seriously upsets you is your reasoning, your worrying, your obsession and

your will to provide for yourselves at any price. I can do so many things when

the being, as much in his material necessities as in his spiritual ones turns to

Me saying: You think of it, and rests quietly closing his eyes. You will receive

a lot, but only when your prayer will fully rely upon Me. You pray to Me when in

pain so that I will intervene, but in the way you desire it. You do not rely on

Me, but you want me to adjust to your requests.

 

Don't believe like sick ones who ask the doctor to treat, all the time

suggesting the treatment to him. Do not do that, but rather, even in sad

circumstances say: Lord! I praise and thank you for this problem, for this

necessity. I pray to you to arrange things as You please for this terrestrial

and temporal life. You know very well what is best for me.

 

Sometimes you feel that disasters increase instead of diminishing! Don't get

agitated. Close your eyes and tell Me with faith; Thy will be done. Thou think

of it. And when you thus speak, I even accomplish a miracle when necessary. I

only think of it when you trust Me totally. I always think of you, but I can

only help you completely when you rely fully on Me.

 

You have to exercise a ceiling on your desires. There are rules for ceiling with

regard to land and property. But you have no ceiling on your desires. Ceiling on

desires means exercising control over them. You can be happy once the desires

are controlled. Your life is a long journey. You should have less luggage

(desires) in this long journey of life. Therefore, it is said: less luggage more

comfort makes travel a pleasure.
