Live Quality
Always say ‘yes’ to the present moment… Surrender to what is. Say ‘yes’ to life – and see how life starts suddenly to start working for you rather than against you.
Surrendering also has enormous power because it allows you to live in the natural flow of your life, which is when we feel serenity and happiness. By living in harmony within ourselves, we are placing our life on the right path to discover our true calling. Lao Tzu said, “by letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond the winning.”
Whenever we surrender to the Universe and accept our life as is, we discover the window to our true Being, which clears the fog in our life and shows us the the road to our true purpose. Lao Tzu said, “when you let go of what I am, I become what I might be.” It is only in surrender that we can realize our highest potential and radiate each of our magnificence to the world.
The greatest joy we feel from surrender is love — that love is growing stronger within, so we can accept ourselves for who I am and share more love with others. With love, we naturally become more compassionate and understanding of human trials and tribulations, so our desire to serve and help others grow deeper and stronger. Love is the ultimate answer to all of our problems, so by accepting, we can nurture love at the highest level, which becomes a powerful force for change in the world. Inspiring words by Marianne Williamson: “Something amazing happens when we surrender and just love. We melt into another world, a realm of power already within us. The world changes when we change. the world softens when we soften. The world loves us when we choose to love the world.”
The moment love becomes a relationship, it becomes a bondage, because there are expectations and there are demands and there are frustrations, and an effort from both sides to dominate. It becomes a struggle for power…
Two persons can be very loving together. The more loving they are, the less is the possibility of any relationship. The more loving they are, the more freedom exists between them. The more loving they are, the less is the possibility of any demand, any domination, any expectation. And naturally, there is no question of any frustration.
Don’t surrender to a person, surrender to love.
Love is never a relationship; this is your problem. Relationship is bound to be a bondage. In relationship either you have to surrender or the other has to surrender.
Surrender to love means: enjoy in the happiness of the other, rejoice in the being of the other; be in tune with each other, dance in harmony.
When you are happy alone, when you can live with yourself, there is no intrinsic necessity to be in relationship. That does not mean that you will not relate. But to relate is one thing, and to be in relationship is quite another. Relationship is a kind of bondage, relating is sharing. You will relate with many people, you will share your joy with many people, but you will not depend on anyone in particular and you will not allow anybody else to depend on you. You will not be dependent, and you will not allow anybody to be dependent on you. Then you live out of freedom, out of joy, out of love.
This is surrender.
