To Surrender, Then It’s the Master’s Problem - 29th November 2016
Saar (Essence)
Ananta teaches that true surrender involves relinquishing all personal conclusions and judgments, handing one's life entirely to the Guru so that existence becomes a fresh, open expression of the divine will.
Surrendering means we don't have any conclusions or judgments about ourselves; we remain completely open.
If you have handed your life to the Guru, then even your interests are the Master's problem.
Your existence is my existence; this simple letting go is enough.

It is very good to follow because yesterday when I was sharing, I said that if you can just say that 'I am,' I would let go of the mind. I've disposed of the mind and handed over my life to God or Guru, and that's it. Then even what you don't want is the Master's problem. What interests you or doesn't interest you is the Master's problem. Then we don't make any statement about what I want or don't want because we don't know. Next minute it might be the Master's will that this is what is being contemplated. Life becomes open and fresh and completely surrendered.
So surrendering means that we don't have any conclusion or judgments about ourselves. We are completely open in this way. The ones who have surrendered also remain open, and you might find that some interest comes, some contemplation happens on its own. There is no need to define the self as something, one or the other. If you say that 'I have just surrendered to you, I am because of you,' you see, which is very beautiful, then your existence is my existence. Then you really can't have any conclusions or a sense of what you want in life or how you are in life because you don't know. This simple letting go is enough.
