"me and mine" has to recognize that it owes its existence to that Power. Papa says you must stand on the ashes of cremated ego.

Surrender is not verbal assertion, it is not mental assertion but it is a state of consciousness..--- Beloved Papa Swami Ramdas 


######


Surrender is the goal to be scaled and cannot be made a topic for discussion 


#######


If surrender has to become a Reality, we must go on listing all that we are receiving 


######


Suppose people applaud us for making kheer, how do we take it. The recipe is not ours. Raw material is not originated by  us. Stove that cooks is not originated by us. So, how can I take the credit.

Swami Ranganathanandaji


We cannot become human without human world around us. Kaccha or unripe 'I' must become a Pakka or ripe "I". Only ripe "I" can feel oneness with everybody. 


######


When I was a seed in my mother's womb, there was no "me & mine". How can I arrogate that everything belongs to me?


######


When we were children,  vast paddy field was there. After pollination, white liquid or milk forms in the husk. Some birds drink this liquid and the husk becomes empty. Children belonging to working segment had made an arrangement to drive away the birds. There was  water flow which was made to fall periodically on a bamboo pole which in turn dropped it on a stone producing a particular noise "te" which warded off birds. How all this happened? It is the brain . Who gave us the brain???


#######


Obstacle for surrender is the "me"


######


Ego makes us assert we can do so many things 


#######


"me" exists because of Him


######


If we do not make it a habit to feel that we exist because of Him,  ego starts owning and feeling that it is co-ordinating and harmonizing everything 


#######


All spiritual laws and physical laws are coming from That Power.


#######


If I become insensitive to the sufferings and demands of those around me, I violate the spiritual law resulting in restlessness. Those who never violate spiritual laws are always peaceful .
