WORKSHOP OF THE DAY:

VAAKYARTHA SADHAS

Topic of discussion is: “What is surrender to the Master?”

Brain storm the following questions: Is surrender the same as unquestioning obedience to rules and regulations? Does it require complete dependence for survival of the body and education of the mind? Is it based on dependence for survival of the spirit? Does it need unwavering trust? Does it require the giving up of independence or giving up of lifestyle choices?

Conclusion:

True love for others, is to love unconditionally, with detachment and without expectations. Love for the master must be unconditional, based on completion and total surrender that transcends emotions (love and hate), opinions (good and evil) and social conditioning (sin and merit).
