 .

all individual wills being the manifestations of the same one supreme divine will ,they are its own mediums,

a result of supreme manifesting as infinite individual wills.

hence are not separate from supreme divinity,

 

so all individuals must allow their individual wills to prevail and function free, without any of the bondages and bindings, inhibitions and suppressions,

 hesitations and questions, in the name of surrender to supreme.

 

as there is none other than oneself to whom one can surrender .

 

 so there is no surrender,

 

what ever one does is all supreme's doing himself none other ,

shivakevaloham,

shivo jeevo, jeevo shivo ,

the non dual, one unity , the supreme divinity 

 

i am re-emphasizing, ---there is no need of any sharan or surrender to any one else

since there is only one , no one else

when no one else is there how can one surrender at all
or to whom one can surrender,
is it possible?
is it necessary?

a leaf cannot surrender to tree, there is no need . it cannot . 
since leaf is part of , and integral with tree, 
there is no separation with tree, it is tree itself 
since tree is all leafs, tree exists as leaf 
if you remove leaf, cut it off , again leaf comes , 
since tree itself is leaf, tree is manifesting as leaf again and again 
question of surrender does not arise 

so this concept of surrender is absurdity, am i clear
All individual wills being the manifestations of the same one supreme divine will 

,they are its own mediums,

a result of supreme manifesting as infinite individual wills.


hence are not separate from supreme divinity, 

---------------kindly note this point , very important for personality growth of followers , not to become weak, in the name of surrender, nor to pass the buck to god---------------- 


so all individuals must allow their individual wills to prevail and function free, 

without any of the bondages and bindings, 

inhibitions and suppressions, 

hesitations and questions, 

in the name of surrender to supreme. 

as there is none other than oneself 

to whom one can surrender . 

so there is no surrender,

one is responsible for his actions, no escape routes nor excuses, and he must continue to grow with healthy values to supreme level, to the level of master of universe, 
but 
not remain as ''yours humble obedient servant '', demeaning, denigrating, belittling oneself on his own self 

surrender makes the man a timid, weak, useless , irresponsible, escapist in the name of god 

this is a great caution 

 

 

Why supreme waits for an offering

you are the supreme ,

do not bring in a distraction and thus weaken the action by shifting the attention on some one other than you 
accomplish all supreme tasks
take all supreme responsibility for the universe
that's it , 
no offering, no surrender 
just do the best for your own sake, to get the best out of every encounter every opportunity 
not to look this side that side , unnecessarily 

even if there is a supreme other than you, that supreme remains so whether offered or not 
he does not need any thing 

it is you who need to accomplish things for your benefit joy utility 
so to think that you are doing for supreme is self deception 
and deceiving the supreme if it exists

 

Surmises can be supremely wild, 
one is free to conjuncture and dream in one's own way, 
and is free to live on all kinds of assumptions, 
fiction is a part of literature, may be very appealing, 
mirage promises water to the thirsty, 
snake may look like rope, and tempt man to play with it, 
glowworm looks likes fire, ignorance is bliss of its own kind 
but wise ones do not live in fools paradise, however charming it may be. 
master will not be in delusion will not lead one into illusions 
but he clears all ignorance, in what ever degree it may exist
he is down to earth on solid ground of reality , 
ever on the highway in broad day light
