The true
meaning of Surrender
“To give
yourself entirely, unconditionally and absolutely to God is surrender.”
The above
Statement of Swami – “Divinity can be attained only when the Body, Mind and
Soul are all surrendered at the lotus
feet of the Lord'" is further explained thus:-
Dear Ones,
If you have
understood the depth of Swami’s definition of SURRENDER, then you will clearly
know that it is a LONG JOURNEY, even if we start today.
To repeat
Sai’s words,
“To give
yourself entirely, unconditionally and absolutely to God is surrender.”
“Divinity can
be attained only when the body, the mind and the soul are all surrendered at
the Lotus Feet of the Lord.”
“As long
there is a feeling of duality, a sense of I and you, the notion of mine and
thine, the Divine state cannot be attained.”
We should be
very clear that this stage of total surrender can be attained only stage by
stage and not in one stroke.
“To surrender
Body, Mind and Intellect to Lord”- Very easy to say this but do we know the
depth of this one sentence?? This is the
stage where, you don’t exist with your mind to say “I have surrendered to
God”. When you say that, are you not saying the same with your mind? And here,
Sai says, To surrender means, to surrender your Body, Mind, Intellect- BMI, to Lord. That means, the mind which has made all efforts for several births to
evolve spiritually, has been transcended and The Surrenderer has been Surrendered and there is no more Surrenderer or Surrendering or Surrendered!
This is the
last and final attainment in nava vida bhakti –“Atma nivedanam”
Love.
