Intelligent living is all about
letting go and living in complete surrender to Life!
Know that we are all custodians of this
opportunity and energy called Life. We didn't ask to be born. This Life is a gift
we got. So, if we were given the gift of Life without our asking for it, please
understand that we will also get all that we need to live it fully.
This is the truth, the reality of Life.
When we seek material things__money, power, position, fame__we are looking a
gift horse in the mouth. We have been given a Merc but we are asking why is the
upholstery not of a pastel shade, why is there no bar inside, why is a DVD
player not fixed in the rear side of the car? By wanting, we are being ungrateful
beneficiaries. Instead, surrender to Life. Be the way you were before you were
born. You__and I__may not remember it, but we were totally at the mercy of Life
before and when we were born. For the first few years of our Life, we stayed
that way. But as we started getting educated, we started wanting. When each
want was initially fulfilled by our parents, we started wanting more. There,
the miracles stopped. And our challenges began. So, to attract miracles into
your Life, just surrender. Just tell Life that you are in command and I am a
humble follower. That I will accept and enjoy anything that you will give me.
Those
of us who have surrendered and seen the miracles in our lives will appreciate
this perspective from experience. Those who find this logic difficult to
understand, need to just observe Life around them closely and they will see
that everything__everything__in this
Universe is created only on this principle. When we lose something and we
grieve its loss, it’s because of this wanting in us. In fact, grief itself is a
sign that we are out of the surrender mode and are in the want mode. Jalaluddin
Rumi, the Persian mystic says,"Don't grieve over anything that you have
lost. It will come back in another form." That
coming back, the miracle, can be created by you, when you drop your grief and surrender
to Life!
