Just Let Go

Ananta emphasizes that true surrender and devotion cannot coexist with a demand for guarantees or rational certainty, urging seekers to trust God's will over their own desire for control.

Faith and guarantees do not go together; surrender means letting go of the need for a signed contract.
Don't have the idea that you are smarter than God by trying to maneuver your life's unfolding.
If everything was rational and clear upfront, there would be no need for devotion, faith, or surrender.

And that's for whatever God's will is going to unfold in your life. Don't have an idea saying, 'Maneuver this, this cannot happen.' I'm trying to just keep waiting for God and miss that meeting. Don't have this idea that you're smarter than God. That takes away the feel. If everything was going to just be rational and predetermined and clear to you upfront, then where is the need for devotion and faith? Where is the surrender?

Ananta

So here is your condition where God is supposed to spell it out for you. 'If I live in your life, will I do my work well? Will I handle my family well? Will my relationships go well?' All these things you want God to spell out for you first, and in the same breath, we say, 'I am fully surrendered to You.' It is a complete contradiction. Not for one moment do we look at the examples of birds and plants and everything possible.

Ananta

Faith and guarantees don't go together. Devotional surrender and guarantees do not go together. You want God to come and sign the contract with us: 'My life should not get messed up.' Just let go.

The Thread Continues
