Surrender
Part 5b
Surrender. The daughter is given away. The daughter goes to her home. That’s how it is said, isn’t it? Has gone to her home. Beautiful!
This is surrender. This is the sign of surrender. The in-laws house , this word is not good. Has gone to her home. Leaving one parents has gone to other parents. That’s real fun! This is called surrender. Now she has starting putting vermillion on her forehead. I am somebody’s. She has put the sign of surrender. Now the entire world knows that she is married. When a person becomes the Lord’s then it is called surrender. This example is being taken for you. When she used to go there, the first thing would be to change her parents’ house name. Not now. The surname changes. The Sub caste changes. She accepts all their customs. The house is hers. Kids are born. They go to school too. Today parents have to go to school more than the kids.
Mother is calling home. She says the little sister is getting married, so come. Writes a letter, calling her. Kindly do come a month earlier. Help me with the work. She calls back saying – what are you saying ? Kids have to go to school. They have exams. They have this, they have that. The brother in law too is getting married, how can I come? Kindly excuse me. She has spent 20-25 years with her parents now her home has changed, surrender, giving oneself up.
I will not be able to come. At the most maybe one day before the wedding, that also with great difficulty. Don’t wait for me. Kindly do make your own arrangements. Now grown little more. What kind of home is it? Only dear ladies you have to put your feet in there. The moment the person puts his feet in there, he is surrendered. That’s it, then he belongs there only, this is surrender.
The kids are married now. The daughter in law has come. Has left that house and has gone to another house. What does she say- since the time you have entered my home, you have brought distress. This home is mind now. Surrender. The son has got married. Has become mother in law, has become the owner, surrender.
Those who offer themselves to the Lord, the Lord accepts them. Everything then belongs to the person, including the Lord Himself. This is surrender.
Dear devotees. Those who are accepted by the Lord, the one who becomes Lord’s , the Lord does not make him go according to his karmas.
How do we identify surrender? How do we know that the Lord has accepted us, made us His own, how do we recognize it? Dear ladies a very clear identification is there-
Then He does not go according to our karmas, our dirty karmas, our vicious karmas, no, He does not make us go through our own karmas. Then He makes us go according to His own wish. This is the sign that I have accepted you.
In The epic Mahabharata , there are beautiful examples. In Ch 18, 66th shaloka, everything started from here, Paarth! Renounce all religions you take refuge in Me! If Arjuna would have followed his own religion, then the outcome of the war would have been different. If Draupadi had followed her religion then she would have been different. Lord makes the surrendered devotee go as per His wish.
Next Sunday, we’ll continue with our discussion further.
Today allow to end here itself. Thanks. .
