Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 Dear RD, There is nothing " weak " in surrender. A weakling has nothing to surrender. Actual surrender begins where self effort ends. The bird in Thakurs parables surrenders only after it has flown to all the four directions and not found land. More on this thread please, Regards Jagannath. --- R D <jaguarxox wrote: > There are a lot of people who > don't like the weakness that is implied > in the word 'surrender'....People like > to think they are strong characters who > can take care of their own destinies. > That is always fictitious thinking.... > Everybody in this world is some kind of > weakling, and if he thinks he is not, > then pride is his weakness, and that is > the greatest weakness of all...... > > Become an instument in the hands of the Divine- > and all problems will melt away..... > Swim in the Ocean of Bliss! > > > > > > > HotJobs - Search Thousands of New Jobs > http://www.hotjobs.com > > HotJobs - Search Thousands of New Jobs http://www.hotjobs.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2002 Report Share Posted August 9, 2002 Namaste, Thakur used to refer to two types of devotees - those who have the temperaments of kittens, and those who are like the monkey infants! The kittens trust their mothers to keep them wherever they chose; the monkeys clung on to the mothers no matter where! Latu Maharaj perhaps exemplified the kitten, and Sw. Vivekananda the latter! Arjuna would be like the 'monkey' [judged by the questions he asked], who switched to being the 'kitten' at the end!!
