The Master replied, \u2018This question itself will disappear. Then you will know you have surrendered.\u2019
\nThis question, whether you have surrendered or not, will disappear. You will have no doubt about whether you have surrendered or not. Your whole being will be flooded and will be bubbling with ecstasy and joy. There is just a feeling of surrendering. Utter relaxation and utter bliss. You will not bother about what happens next. You will be totally relaxed from your duties, pains, suffering and responsibilities. The responsibilities will be fulfilled effortlessly. Your body will be doing the right action effortlessly. You mind will be doing the right thing without your intervention. It\u2019s not that you won\u2019t go to your office tomorrow morning because you have surrendered. You will go- the body will carry on. Everything will be happening. But you will see utter relaxation in your being, the utter bliss in your \u2018mind\u2019 and the utter \u2018IS ness\u2019 in your life.
\nWhen you surrender the \u2018I\u2019, there is utter bliss. When you surrender the \u2018mine\u2019, there is utter relaxation. When you surrender the \u2018I\u2019, and \u2018mine\u2019, there is beautiful \u2018IS ness\u2019 in your life. This is the scale to measure whether your surrender is merely lip service or it is real. With this scale you can measure whether you have surrendered or not.\u00a0 Surrender is nothing but a clear, conscious decision. Nothing else.
\n\u2018You will conclude, \u2018Why can\u2019t the energy that can move my body, this sun, this moon and this planet earth, move my life?\u2019
\nUnderstand: The bread that we eat becomes blood. It is not an insignificant process. If you are a doctor, you know how big this process is! Bread becoming blood is the biggest industry you can conceive! Still, scientists have not succeeded in converting bread into blood. To be successful in doing this, you need to create an industry that will run for miles. And such a big process happens inside our body! Just six feet high \u2013 in such a small system, this big process is happening! Air is taken in, the prana (life force) is separated out, the air goes out \u2013 the process is happening inside us. If the Divine can manage so much inside our body, if the Divine can manage so much in this universe, it can well manage our life, too.
\nUnderstand: Existence is intelligence. The Divine is intelligence.
\nI\u2019ve seen people ask God, \u2018O God, please give me this. O God, please give me that.\u2019
\nFirst, they ask. Next, the bargain! If you give me this, I will give you that.\u2019 Balaji is the biggest god in India for bargaining with. For anything, bargain with Balaji.
\nThird, they start blaming God, I went to His temple ten times, and every year I climbed up the hill to the temple, but nothing happened!\u2019
\nFirst you ask, then you bargain, and next you blame. These three have nothing to do with devotion.
\nLet me ask you this. Why do you pray? You pray because you think that God has the capacity to give, that God has the Sakthi (Power) to give.
\nWhen you pray, you ask, \u2018O God, give me a million dollars.\u2019 You know that God has the sakthi to give you, so you ask.
\nBut when you insist, \u2018O God, give me now, give me right now,\u2019 it means you believe that He has Sakthi, but you don\u2019t believe that he has buddhi, the intelligence to decide when to give. That is what it means! You believe that he has sakthi, but you don\u2019t believe that he has buddhi.
\nWhen you surrender, you understand that not only does He have sakthi, He has buddhi also. Every moment, something will be taught to you. When you surrender, You will not have any pain. You will feel liberated.
