12. Surrender… re surrender a panacea
This is
single strategy, which is capable of lifting you from rock bottom. Once you hit
the bottom it is quite likely that by the grace of good and by virtue of your
total surrender you can make it to the top. Surrender is a strongest magnet
that can pull you out from any depth. Once you understand and feel the power of
surrender you will not go back again.
Imagine rod fitted with a metallic ring in it. The ring
is allowed to move between two stoppers upper and lower. These two stoppers represent lower and upper mental status of the human being. The ring (soul) is
allowed to move between two mental stages (upper and lower). Generally lower
stopper does not allow the ring (soul) to go down beyond specified limits. Due
to some unlucky events the lower stopper breaks and the soul plunges in
darkness – a vertical fall-a deep fall, is characteristic of depression –
rather clinical depression. This vertical rod is your life and the ring is your
soul. The freedom is generally restricted by the two stoppers. A man generally behaves
between these two patterns. Once, due to gravity, or impact, if the lower
stopper is broken the ring goes deep down and it experiences a vertical fall.
Now only a powerful magnet can lift this ring up from the bottom. This powerful
magnet is almighty and the process by which it can be brought to upper end is surrender-total
surrender. When this powerful magnet is requested to act on your behalf it lifts
the ring with a great force, breaking the upper stopper and ring goes straight
to the magnet.
Surrender in a loose term is known by you as going to
the place of worship and pray. Yes, this is the first step in surrender.
Nevertheless, complete surrender is far more powerful and soothing then this.
When you close your eyes in front of your God you feel completely under his
control. You have practically no power even to breath or stand. You feel all
power are vested in him and he give some of his power to you. You cease to be a
doer of your job rather any job.
How do you know
you have a casual visit to the
temple or a total surrender. Following are sme of the criteria which defines
your surrender.
1)
In total surrender ,you loose your identity You are no
more you , a boss ,a husband ,a wife a student and so on.
2)
No thought other then seeing his mighty power and his
illuminated face occurs to you.
3)
You find
yourself completely safe in front of him and that you feel his omnipotent power
and also know that he is full of compassion.
4)
You feel that he is capable of solving your problem in
seconds, alone and that he is so kind that he will do it for
you,or at least show you the way out as well as courage to do it.
5)
Your request is so humble that your eyes get wet or
even you cry profusely the moment you stand in front of him with closed eyes
and folded hands.
Please do not think that
how a strong man like me can ever cry? This is the purification process. Such
total surrender will come only after full faith and repeated attempts.
Surrender should not be misunderstood with
cowardice. A coward can not be a devottee.Please try to understand the
difference between other feelings like respect, trust, obey. The only other
equivalent feeling is unconditional love
Though God has no shape
and size or color total surrender may require some of these attributes . Unless
our mind can specify certain thing, it can not perceive it. So you may need
a color and texture of god, Allah, or Jesus.
However you need to know the difference between
surrender and worthlessness. Both are not the same. Worthlessness gives you
unbearable emotional pain whereas surrender gives you bliss. Surrender is is a
top ranked human emotion like pure love and devotion. It is like trance and is
pure and all cleansing emotion.
The true proof of surrender is ,check after a session of surrender how do you feel.If it is like lifting tons of load from your head,it is true surrender
Surrender –re surrender
,it is your panacea.
