Chapter 38Surrender to the Divine Will

Book 3. Part Three: Elements of Yoga

SURRENDER Surrender: the decision to hand over the responsibility of your life to the Divine. This is done either through the mind or the emotion or the life-impulse or through all of them together.

* To surrender to the Divine is to renounce your narrow limits and let yourself be invaded by It and made a centre for Its play.

* If you are truly surrendered to the Divine, in the right manner and totally, then at every moment you will be what you ought to be, you will do what you ought to do, you will know what you ought to know.

But for that you should have transcended all the limitations of the ego.

* True surrender enlarges you; it increases your capacity; it gives you a greater measure in quality and in quantity, which you could not have had yourself.

* Detailed surrender: a surrender which does not forget anything.
