Surrender

Are you in control when you´re sleeping or when you´re dreaming?
No!

Are you in control of any other function in your body?
Your heart pumps all by itself. Your liver functions by itself. The food you stuff in the stomach gets digested all by itself.


Do you have any control over them? Are you in control of the Sun and Moon moving around the globe or even the globe rotating on itself? Are you in control of the thoughts that come into your head?
So, when you realize you really do not have any control over all major things that are happening in you life, you´ll stand up and laugh. "Oh, what am I thinking, am I in control of something?" Then you will realize that the idea that you are in control is an illusion. And then you relax. And that relaxed state is called surrender.

Surrender is our very nature; you don´t have to do it.

When you are in your natural state of childlike innocence, you are already in a state of surrender.

When you cannot surrender, then you make effort, and effort makes you surrender. So when you say, "I cannot relax", I will say, "Ok, hold your fists tight and tight and tight." Then, when I ask you to make it tighter and you cannot do that, what do you do? Being tired, you just drop. This is coming to the other end with effort!

What is surrender?
A state of mind, where you are absolutely at home, totally relaxed - with no fear, anxiety, burden or problem. That state is called surrender.
