Surrender Is Choicelessness

Surrender occurs when you come to apoint when you no longer have any choice. You cannot understand what surrender is as long as you still are trying to give something up or trying to attain something. When you realize this choicelessness you come upon acon¬ dition that is like afree-fall, aplace which is located neither here nor there. Beyond all possibilities there is no longer any question of shoulds and shouldn'ts, coulds or couldn'ts. One has realized aplace beyond all possibilities. The direct realization of that place, of that perspective, of that absolute choicelessness, is the true realization of surrender. After you have jumped off acliff and you are in the midst of falling freely, when you have lost sight of the cliff above you and have lost all memory of the ground below you, then you will understand what surrender is. Only after you’ve already jumped and you're freely falling can you truly understand what surrender means, not one m o m e n t b e f o r e . Only when you are in the condition of surrender itself can you understand what it actually is. You cannot understand what surrender is if you want something, even if what you want is Liberation. Surrender is its own condition, it's not something you can do. 2 0 1 A R e n u n c i a t i o n r denunciation Is Living Death Renunciation Is Living Death W h e n Y o u B e c o m e a G i v e r The Fire of Your Heart Must Burn Brightly W h a t I s R e n u n c i a t i o n ? 2 0 5
