Surrender no
in his athmastakam
adishankara is more clear on the aspect of surrender in his assertion of
''shivoham shivoham''
.
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
