Surrender the Ultimate🔗

technique to dissolve the Ego

First of all, if you really surrender, you will become enlightened. There is no question of ‘when I surrender.’ But for argument sake, if you decide to allow me to work on you, I will prune your ego and keep it like a bonsai tree until such a time you totally lose it and become enlightened.

You will have enough ego to run your business, and do your daily activities, not to hurt other people and yourself. Your ego will be like roasted seeds that do not grow any more. Understand, that a man who is not yet enlightened has ego in him in some form or the other. But whether you have an active ego or a passive ego, the more you start being the observer, the more your ego will dissolve. That’s enough understanding for now.

With ordinary people, you can easily shield your ego and get away with it. With a Master, you can never deceive him. You can only deceive yourself into thinking that you have deceived Him. However,the more deeply hidden and well covered you keep your ego and cunningness, it will simply be bare under the Master’s gaze. While you struggle to shield it, the Master tries to heal it. Only He knows what a cancerous disease ego is.

The Master is Existence itself. He is the formless in form. When your senses perceive only what the Master says, you have reached the highest point in surrender!

Let me tell you a few things from the Bhagavad Gita. The Bhagavad Gita was Lord Krishna’s teachings to the world. When the Bhagavad Gita starts, Arjuna is confused. He

says, 'Oh Lord! I don't know what to do in life. Please guide me.' Krishna explains to him the Sankhya Yoga, the way to reach the soul. He then explains the Karma Yoga, then the Bhakti Yoga, then the Karma Sannyasa Yoga, then the Gnana Karma Sannyasa Yoga, then the Raja Vidya Yoga and so on. He explains different meditation techniques through seven hundered verses in eighteen chapters.

At the end of it Arjuna says, 'Krishna, I am more confused than what I was when you started explaining. Which technique do I follow? Which is the technique that is the best and the quickest? Which is the shortcut method, the ultimate technique?'

Krishna replies to this in the concluding eighteenth chapter. With any Master the words that He concludes with are the final, firm and ultimate truth. Krishna says, Sarva dharman parithyajya mamekam sharanam vraja, aham thva sarvapapebhyo mokshayishyami ma suchaha.

This line that He says is such that if we imagine all the religions, philosophies and spiritual books to be a pot of milk, this is the butter extracted from it all. He says, 'I have explained all the forms of justice to you. Simply surrender everything to me. Surrender to me and I will take care of you. I will free you from all your sins and lift you to liberation.' Krishna is actually making a beautiful promise in this stanza. Through this stanza, Krishna shows the world that surrender is the final firm and ultimate technique. A short cut to the egoless state, to liberation.

The only thing holding you back from the Ultimate is your ego. Simply surrender yourself. That's all! By surrender I don't mean imitate me or try to be like me. I mean simply surrender all your ideologies and all your conditioning to me. Then, your individuality will be revealed to you.
