Realize You Were Never Attached

Realize You Were Never Attachec Q; Ihave always understood surrender to mean letting go of attachment in every moment. Is that correct?

A: No. Surrender comes from the realization that you were never attached in the first place. When you realize that fact, the conditioned grasping which usually moti¬ vates most human behavior doesn't make sense anymore. Surrender has nothing to do with reminding yourself every moment to let go. Surrender is the result of realiz¬ ing that you were never attached to anything at any moment. Realize this very deeply and you will experience the ecstatic freedom that comes from this realization. 1 9 7
