Accepting is Not a Passive State - 18th January 2016

There can be this beautiful universal love which can express itself in these beautiful ways in terms of our caring. Caring for these dogs and all other beautiful creatures can be taken care of, you see? But it's also accompanied now with a sense of trust in what it is. So it can seem like it's expressing itself very specifically, but actually, it's the universal love which is expressing itself. And also, the trust that whatever Ram will distribute...

Yes, yes, absolutely. Here, I just kept handing it over when I saw that there was something that was saying like, 'This should be happening.' Just, you know, 'Thy will be done.'

Yes. And also, if there's something seen and that energy is there, life force is there to make some change about it, to take some steps, then by all means it must be followed. No problem in that, you see? So we're not encouraging... accepting is not a passive state, you see? Universal love and surrender and accepting God's will is not a passive state. So you find that there's energy for some work to be done from here, there's movement happening through this body, even that is. So it can be that you're completely accepting, completely surrendered, and yet the movement is happening. What is gone is that identification or attachment, which is a special arrogance of being something special because 'I'm helping the world.'

Then only they're not struggling. Sometimes tears... it's just hard to see. Also, like, that comes simultaneously with trust. And like, even if I'm seen, there's... it can be seen that I might be seeing it personally or not actually, but they're not seen at the same time.

What it means to say 'I'm seeing it personally' is only that there could be moments where I'm believing my thoughts. And although we use this terminology in Satsang sometimes, it's just defining that. 'But I picked up some beliefs now.' Therefore, nothing to worry about. See, everyone does. Even the sages pick up some beliefs.
