Surrender

Drop everything and surrender. Drop everything, whatever you know as life, whatever you think you know, just drop it. Whatever you know is only your knowledge; it is just what you know. It is not what is.The word surrender itself frightens people. We must understand that we are not going to lose anything when we surrender. We are only going to gain everything.

Realize first of all that we have nothing of any value to surrender! We only think we do. We simply need to open our eyes and see that everything is, is Divine. The 'I' and 'mine' that we hold onto are mere lies. The moment we understand this, we surrender. The moment we surrender, we understand.

When we call something 'mine,' legally it may not belong to us, but existentially it does not. Legally we can fence off a piece of land and call it ours. But Nature or Existence does not know that it is ours. When a cyclone hits, it does not care whose property it is. For Existence there is no law.

Our idea of 'mine' is protected by the laws of society. We cannot truly use the term 'law of the land.' The land has no laws. Only society has laws. The land can have an earthquake at any time. We cannot have laws to govern Nature. As long as you are caught with the concept of 'I' and 'mine,' you will not understand the truth about Existence.

Drop everything and surrender means to open our eyes and see the foolishness of the drama we play with our possessions and expectations. It is one thing if you play the games to cheat others; however, do not cheat yourself.

Can whatever you think of as 'I', either your body or mind, function without air? Can you say that the air belongs to you? This basic energy that goes in and comes out, does not belong

Below is a powerful meditation technique.

You always feel that you cannot live your life without planning. Planning is a disease of the mind! You never realize, whenever you plan, you can only succeed to the limit of your planning. You are limited by the known. When you do not plan, you allow life to happen spontaneously. You enter into the space of unlimited possibilities.

DURATION: 24 hours

Just for one day, decide that you will drop all plans and move with whatever life brings. Decide that you will not use your intellect to plan and judge and make decisions.

After all, it is just 24 hours!

You are not going to lose everything you have in just 24 hours. If something can leave you if you don't guard it for just 24 hours, let it go. It is not worth keeping.

For one day, consciously decide that you are not going to use your intellect to solve your problems.It is your intellect that tells you that you don't have the natural intelligence to solve your problems spontaneously. The moment you find your mind planning ahead, just drop the plan. Allow things to unfold on their own. Act from your being, not from your intellect.

Again and again, have the courage to remain in the space of not knowing. You will find that you have enough clarity, enough spontaneous awareness to run your life. When you drop the thinking, planning, worrying, you will find that a higher intelligence comes into play.

Understand, this higher power is not outside of you. This intelligence which is running this universe is also inside you. It can take care.
