Saar (Essence)

Ananta emphasizes that true surrender involves handing one's entire existence over to the Guru or God, dropping all effort to become enlightened and accepting whatever life or death brings with complete devotion.

Don't try to become enlightened; drop all trying and you are in my Father's grace.
Surrender means saying to the Guru: my life is yours now, do with me as you please.
Blessed are those who hold God higher than any idea they have about themselves.

Ananta

You have no end. You are the timeless one. There is nobody who can come to the end. This is still the voice of the interpreter. Like we were saying yesterday, don't try to become enlightened. Don't try to become free. Drop all trying and you're in Satsang. Nothing can happen to you. You're in my Father's grace, you see. And even if the surrender means even if this body had to drop, let it drop in Satsang. What more auspicious end can there be to this body in this way, with this love and devotion? Then you are not touched. Then you're not fearing these fears.

Ananta

Actually, the moment we utter the word Guru, Guru should mean that my life is yours now. So do with me as you please. This is the true meaning of handing your existence over to existence. And once we make the prayer that I hand over my existence to existence, if everything was to become just one, one big party, then what was transcended? Then we didn't transcend anything. So when we make the prayer of surrender, it must be accompanied by this devotion to see through anything. Let it come.

Ananta

So you make the prayer of surrender. Just in the words of this prayer, you could destroy all that you hold here and here. Actually, this is surrender. So blessed are those who can naturally hold God, Guru, Truth all the same thing, and naturally hold God higher than any idea they have about themselves and can say: 'Do whatever you like with this life. Even if death has to come now, it is only your will.' This is devotion.

Ananta

And it's not a trivial prayer. When you make it, all your own doubts about your devotion will be tested. God does not doubt your devotion. All this test comes—it is not like it is very popularly said that God is testing you. Why would God want to test you? So these tests only come so that you transcend your own millions and millions of bodies in hand. And if we continue to want to play, then millions and millions more we will have. There are no limits in consciousness. All the experiences that you want can be had.
