Ananta points to the immediate availability of the Self, urging the seeker to drop the false pretense of individual control and surrender to the natural flow of Consciousness that has always been running life.

Surrender is the realization that a greater force has always been running our life without individual control.
The dropping of conditioning happens now by refusing to bite into the next thought's belief.
There is no individual in the first place; it is one ocean, one movement of Consciousness.

So, freedom is to be found now. It is available now in the recognition of the Self which I have pointed you towards. It is unmissable. This recognition is happening for you now, and even the dropping of the conditioning must happen now. If the conditioning is an apple, you can only eat the apple by biting on the next bite, you see? And the next bite is your belief in your next thought. Because the thought will come; it will say, 'But how do I leave my life now? What is going to happen to it?'

Ananta

But life continues in its own natural way. Well, I don't know, my in-laws are here, so they might not agree that my life is continued in a natural way or not, but at least the experience from here seems like life continues to flow in its own natural way without the sense of burden, without the sense of carrying out something specifically. And this openness is surrender, you see? Because we make the prayer of surrender, but we don't really accept that even the experiencer is God Himself.

Ananta

And as we open to whatever life has to bring, then we are not so concerned with what the mind is saying, 'What should I do next?' No longer so concerned about trying to control the flow of this life with no tools. So, surrender is not a doing; it is the realization that it is always this greater force which has been running our life, and I've always had this false pretense of having some individual control. And now we are coming to the recognition that there is no individual in the first place. It is one ocean, one movement of Consciousness.
