So the Bhakta declares that we have to hold ourselves as if we are

altogether dead to all the things of the world; and that is indeed

self-surrender. Let things come as they may. This is the meaning of

" Thy will be done " — not going about fighting and struggling and

thinking all the while that God wills all our own weaknesses and

worldly ambitions. It may be that good comes even out of our selfish

struggles; that is, however, God's look-out.
