Surrender The Doer And The Experiencer
Full surrender means surrendering both the doer and experiencer so no person remains to worry - only then is true freedom possible.
This fear appears like it is sHll an ego who is afraid. Like it is too free, this life is too free or anything can happen and I cannot predict.
Who is the experiencer of that anything happening? Okay I am going to share a few words about this and this may bring some rest… rest in your condiHon because you look a bit Hred from all this contemplaHon, maybe conceptual thinking. So we feel like surrender means that ‘I will leave everything to God, therefore then God (we say) you are the do-er but I yet remain the experiencer.’ So when I worry about my future experience then I say my surrender is not full [Smile] because I sHll feel like God may not take care of me good enough. But this is sHll half surrender. Full surrender is to surrender the do-er and the experiencer. Now, if you surrender both the doing and the experiencing then tell me how you can worry? Because anything may happen but who will experience that anything? Will ‘you’ as a person experience it? Is there a person there to experience anything? So we are worrying on whose behalf? For whom are we worrying?
I feel in that moment it is not worth menHoning that one.
In this moment is not worth menHoning because it does not exist no? Or does it exist and you do not want to talk about it? Those are two different things.
Like there is an expression of ego or separateness.
There is expression of ego? All is an expression of your Being. It is the subHtles in the story, which tell us that ‘there is a ego, there is a separate one, this is an expression of that separate one.’ This is just the narraHve in the subHtles in the head. Whose expression is this right now? Can the non-existent one express? [Smile] What is the dog next to you saying? What is the dog next to you saying?
It is not real.
But what does it say? It is not real but what is it what is its expression? If you were not being polite, you would have said ‘Father, what is this? I mean there is no dog, how can it express? In the same way, there is no ego, there is no person, how can it express? If you mean that Consciousness is buying into the narraHve of the mind and in that buying into that story, what is coming out are you calling that an expression of the ego?
Yes.
Like you were to believe that, there is a dog actually and it wants food and you say ‘I want food’ like that, is that what you mean? Okay then, stop it. What stops you from stopping there?
A kind addicHon.
Stop the addicHon. You as Consciousness can drop it, easy. [Silence] What to do to drop it? You know the answer?
It is not an acHon.
Yes. It is just an empHness, it is just an openness, just an empHness. You have to let the next thought come and go. Whatever the thought is let it come and let it go - you can do it, full power. Don’t ever buy into the idea that the mind tells you that ‘you cannot do it, you cannot do this.’ Of course, you can. The thought can come and the thought can go. You can allow it to go. Nothing can take this power away from you. This is what I mean by ‘open and empty’ this is what I mean by ‘headless.’
Yes, may whatever needs to be done here. Like I see more and more it's not about what this mind is thinking about. If your Grace… I do not know wants to… pull it, fully take this...
Very good, very good. So do not think about it, yes? [Smile] You are disturbing yourself, just troubling yourself. Do not worry, everything is fine. Do not have to worry about anything. Trust this divine Grace. As long as you believe that ‘something is happening’ I have given you the reassurance that ‘Everything is the Master's Grace, you don't have to worry.’
I feel to say that you menHoned about the ‘happening’… someHmes like what you say from the true point it is like not just clear but like I can say ‘Yes, it is not happening.’ Lately, it is changing very fast from this point… it is sHll mind but in the next moment it is but it seems like ‘Oh, I am doing everything, everything is happening’ and it is very aggressive. Just want to put this at your feet this… I do not know ignorance, arrogance, aggressiveness, all this.
Just one, one soluHon to all of this. Just give me your head. Do not take your head back aeer this conversaHon. Just give it to me and even if it feels like it is on top of your shoulders let it be my problem. So all of its problems and anxieHes and ignorance and arrogance, all, all is my problem. Although it may seem to be si^ng on your shoulders. It is sHll mine, okay.
Please take it and… thank you.
Thank you my dear.
