SELF-SURRENDER
Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta
The true devotee is always
conscious of the power that works through him. Otherwise he is nothing; he does
not want to be anything independent of that Divine power. He knows that the
Mother does Her own work , that he has no right to take any credit or blame
upon himself. Everything is all right as long as we do not forget Her Egotism
makes us forget Her; it is our worst enemy. So we must fight and kill it. Let us
pray that we may do a little service to Her children remaining always a true instrument
in Her hands. Otherwise this life has no value . we have only the right to live
a true and pure life and serve as much as we can all Her children.
Sometimes the task appears
very hard, as if there were no way out of it. But nothing can remain permanent
in this world; the clouds vanish and again life becomes hopeful. We must there
for stand like a rock under all circumstances. Let everything come and go, but
try to remain always unmoved. Be bold and face the truth. If you have an ideal,
give your life for the realization of it. We must sacrifice our lives for our
Ideal. That is the only way to worship the Ideal. Not weakness, not hypocrisy,
but sincere love and strength will make us worship Him truly.
Move on and do not look
back to see what happens to anyone. Thousands like me may die in this moment. But
that will not do any harm to this vast world. Truth is deathless and that will shine
forever. Worship the truth and die for it. Remember always that the present
life is the result of past thoughts and deeds; the future is going to be
according to the present. So our future depends entirely upon us . Past will be
washed off by the present life.
Call It Eternal Force of Life

An electric plug can be
made use of to hear a song over the radio, to cool ourselves with the breeze of
a fan, to boil water, to cook or to warm the room with the heater. It all
depends upon what we plug into it. It is never possible that electricity flowing
through the fan, of its own accord, can start emitting fire or light.
Similarly, the unmanifest
eternal force of life can be invoked, and It shall fulfil all desires through
us according to the type of our invocations. The fuel strength in petrol can be
converted into horsepower through the mechanism under the bonnet.
Similarly, the Supreme power, a mass of
dynamism, is the source of all activities and achievements. We are given the
equipment through which we can, as we like, invoke this infinite mind. If we
rightly invoke and carefully use the equipments, we can reach the goal of our
activities.
If we misuse them, the very same divine force
can be the cause of our utter disaster. There is a powerhouse within us and yet
we live in a state of permanent power failure.

But, if He exists?
I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who
spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this,
his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was
wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into
believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am
wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your
entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why
should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.
