Surrender
Part 8 a
Many Many salutations My Mothers Gentlemen at your feet. Infinite times my pranaams.
The discussion that is going on is – Paarth, Give up all religions you take My refuge. I will free you from all sins. Don’t be sad. You don’t have to be upset. The Lord is Himself telling Paarth about this.
Such secret the Lord is telling him as he is so dear, so close , so much His own. That’s why hHe is revealing such secret to him. At the end, in the 18th chapter, 66th shaloka, aftercso many shalokas, He says-
Paarth! You take My refuge, let go of all religions. It’s in this context that the surrender is being discussed. It’s very challenging. Today Trilogy ji sang a hymn, See His doing and don’t open your mouth. Be quiet. It’s very difficult. But then surrender is this. This is surrender. The one who reaches this state, that one attains, the ultimate of devotion. Surrender is the ultimate of devotion.
If a person learns how to be quiet, not to open the mouth in response. Total quiet. This is called surrender. See His doing and endure, see His doing and endure, this is surrender. Where you’ll start following your religion, there only you’ll fail.
The Egoistically talented philanthropist Karana’s discussion was in progress. In that context service was discussed too. Let us expand on that a little bit. Then we’ll talk of the philanthropic Karana.
This world is a servicescape. In Reality if we see, people do a lot of big talk. We too listen to big talk. And we have become habitual in listening to those talks. But a person with such low intellect , ignorant person, has come to understand that this life is for the devotion of the Lord and to serve the world, which is the form of the formless Lord. A combination of both.
The devotion can only be of the Lord, not of the world. Even though the world is the form of the Lord. You all are Lord’s form, there is no doubt in it. But the devotion will be of the Lord. The service will be of the world only. Both things are done by serving. Saints Divine Souls say that do service but in a selfless mode. There is no need to ask. If you clean a place, the service is automatically done. Why do want to ask that May cleanliness be there? There is dirty creek, if you clean it up, the filth will automatically be gone. You’ll wash a cloth, applied soap, water, it’s cleansed. The dirt will come out. Why do you want to ask? In simple words, it is called selfless.
Neither selfish devotion, nor selfish service.
Cut them both out. Forget it. You are a devotee. We all are devotee workers of the form of the Lord. That’s why after great thought and understanding the saints and and Divine souls have said that this world is a service place. Everybody has come here to finish off his/ her debt. Serve all. Without any self interest. Selflessly. No need to ask anything.
Devotion too selfless. Why do you do it? It’s my duty. To please the Lord, what else does anyone want? Need devotion. Nothing else. What do you want from serving others? Lord’s love. What else? To please the Lord, I serve others. These should be the thoughts or emotions of a devotee who serves. This is selflessness. Whatever you do, it will never go futile. It will come back to you many fold. Believe it. It’s true. Absolute truth. Get it written on a blank sheet of paper, if you wish! It will come back to you. It may come now, next era, this life or the life next, this country or abroad, wherever you’ll be, it will reach you. Straight to you. You don’t have to think anything opposing to this. This is absolute truth.
