Forget about surrender. Just know that there is one power which is in control of everything.
Seasons are not in your control, the earth is moving around the sun it’s not in your control, all the planets are moving in their orbits, they are not in your control. Every element in this planet has its own laws and they function with their own laws, they are not in your control.
So there is a natural, law, there is a power which is in total control of everything. And it gives some control to you, you can do certain things. It’s like the pilot of the plane is controlling the plane, but inside the plane you can get up and use the washroom and come back, sit or stand, a little freedom is there for you too. In the same way we have our responsibility, we will do that to our optimum. We take responsibility, we do what we need to do. Knowing well that the plane is being piloted by a good pilot. Surrender is not an act. Actually the word surrender has lost all its meaning Just be aware that there is a bigger mind, bigger Self, bigger intelligence which is at work.
Ques: How can I have faith in God that He’ll take me out of this maya, especially because He is the one who created the maya?
#SriSri:
One who has created it only can take you out of it! Time to time observe three things inside of you. Your desires, they come one after another. One gets fulfilled, another comes. And some desires don’t get fulfilled, still more desires come. Let them come, don’t fight with them, just observe, desires are coming, ok.
And then your likes and dislikes, your intellect, your judgment, that arises, recognize them.
And then there is, me, me, me, I am happy, I am unhappy, I am miserable, I am too good, I am not so good, all that me, to which you attach many other adjectives, that me is there.
