3: Surrender is Ultimate but not Final

There is one thing in the Cosmos that you can't say you finished learning: that is surrender. It is an unending process. As I always say, enlightenment is ultimate, but not final! It is constantly happening.
Surrender is ultimate but not final. When you surrender, different qualities of the Cosmos starts expressing in you. So after some time, you will think that you are very intelligent. From that moment on, surrender stops. The expansion stops. And when you become stuck, the Cosmos will give you a strong blow again. When it gives you a blow, when there is no solution in the outer world then you look in again.

Again the Cosmos is
sitting there, smiling.
Come Back! Welcome
back! Then you will
see, that you will melt.
And surrender starts
happening again. And
the highest possible
intelligence and the
different qualities of the
Cosmos start happening
again in you.
Surrender is the ultimate but not the final. And the ultimate
happens again and again; in the higher and higher dimensions.
So, every moment, again and again, you are given the choice. That is why I tell you - surrender is the one thing you can never say you finished learning, or you are done with. It has to be a continuous happening.
There is the one lesson no Master can say I have learnt it, I am here to teach. No! I have learnt the higher parts of it so I can share whatever I have learnt with you. So it's a constant learning process. It is the ultimate happening that nobody can say I learnt it. Whenever you have learnt a process, you have become Master of that process. Surrender is the only process; nobody can become the Master of it. Only the process can continue to be the Master of it.
You will be continuously learning, learning, and learning. Any process you have learnt it, you have become bigger, more than that process. But surrender is a process which you can't become Master of or which you can't say you learnt it! It is learning, learning, and learning. Only in surrender, the process is the master. Nobody else can be the Master.
Even the Cosmos is lower than surrender. Because even the Cosmos continues to expand, expand, and expand because it has surrendered to itself; its very core - Life! That is why constant expansion is happening.
Even in the Cosmos,when the Cosmos judges the happening, the

expansion of life, the surrender bridge is lifted. This causes the Cosmos to start shrinking. The expansion will stop happening. That is what we call pralaya; demolition or destruction. Then again, even the Cosmos learns the lesson: 'Oh! I missed it, let's put the bridge back'. When the bridge is put back, with the life source, again the LIFE starts happening. Expansion happens.
I tell you nothing, nothing, and nothing can say 'I have learnt surrender'. Because it is a happening. It is a happening. It is a constant happening. So let us all learn surrender and radiate enlightenment.

INSTRUCTIONS
Sit comfortably in the vehicle.
Mentally decide that for the duration of the journey, you will not resist any movement of the vehicle.
Don't be afraid! You are not going to get hurt. No big accident is going to happen in the next fifteen or twenty minutes. We always love to visualize the worst scenario, especially when we get into a vehicle!
Now, allow the movement of the vehicle to move your body. Flow with it. Initially, your body will try to resist. Even if you keep yourself physically loose, not holding anywhere, your mind will be trying to hold somewhere.
Just drop this holding. Move with the natural movement of the vehicle. Allow your body to sway back and forth. Allow the small jolts to happen. Even if your body bumps slightly against the sides of the vehicle, don't bother.
Understand, it is not the contact that hurts; it is your resistance to the contact that brings pain. If you are unresisting, even if you fall, you will fall like a flower. You cannot get hurt. So drop your fear. Just flow and enjoy the rhythm of movement.
As you enter deeply into the movement, slowly, you will find that you are apart from the movement! You are not your body. You are just witnessing the movements of your body.
Suddenly, you will see you are disengaged from the 'I'. You will realize that you are beyond the body. You are the pure witnessing Consciousness!
With this one understanding, the fear of losing control of your body will simply leave you. You will experience a deep relaxation in body and mind. This is complete surrender.
