Guest guest Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 SURRENDER(Chapter 12)Why get agitated? Let the Lord take care of all your businesses. He will be the one who will think about them. He is waiting for nothing else other than your surrender to Him. He will intervene only when you know how to completely surrender to Him. Then you do not have to worry anymore about anything. You can then say farewell to all fears and discouragement. Mostly, you demonstrate that you do not trust Him. One the contrary, you must rely on Him blindly. To surrender means to turn your thoughts away from troubles, to turn them away from the difficulties you encounter and from all your problems. Leave everything into His hands saying : '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 then demonstrate that you don't believe in His love for you. You prove that you do not consider your life to be under His control and that nothing escapes Him. Never think : how is this going to end.... what is going to happen.... if you give into this temptation, you show that you do not trust Him. Do you want Him to deal with your problems, yes or no? Then you must stop being anxious. He will guide you only if you completely surrender to Him. When He leads you into a different path than the one you expect, He carries you in His arms.What seriously upsets you is your reasoning, your worrying, your obsession, your will to provide for yourselves at any price. He can do many things as much in your material necessities as in your spiritual ones, providing you turn to Him within. You think of it and then close your eyes and rest quietly. You will receive a lot but only when your prayer will rely fully upon Him. You pray to Him when in pain so that He can intervene, but in the way you desire it. You do not rely on Him but you wish Him to adjust to your requests. Do not behave like sick ones who ask for a treatment from the doctor, all the time suggesting it to him. Do not do like that but rather, even in sad circumstances say : 'Lord, I praise and thank you, and I pray you arrange things as you please for this temporal life. You know very well what is best for me.'Sometimes, you feel that disasters increase instead of diminishing? Do not become agitated, close your eyes and call on Him with faith : You think of it. And when you speak from your heart, He will even create a miracle when necessary. He will only think of it when you trust Him totally. He always thinks of you but can only help you completely when you rely fully on Him. To not ask is surrender. To give up likes and dislikes is true surrender. Not asking for this or that, but equally, not asking that you do not want this or that either. this is very difficult to do. The best way is not to react violently to likes and dislikes. Definition of the highest complete surrender is that whatever one wishes is His will. One need not check with the Lord every moment and ask, 'Is this what you want? Is this what I should be doing? Just do! Whatever one wishes is His wish, His will. At this point, there is no free individual will involved, only His will exists.(From : THE KEY TO GOD'S HEART by R SAI) Visit : Sai Messages : http://saimessages.blogspot.com/ Sai Divine Inspirations : http://saidivineinspirations.blogspot.com/ Love Is My Form : http://loveismyform.blogspot.com/ (for non-Sai members) Catch up on fall's hot new shows on TV.
