Surrender Is Liberation

The path of Enlightenment is not for everybody, because true Enlightenment demands total surrender. For many the idea of surrender is distasteful. They fear that surrender means being aslave, without realizing that it was because they felt enslaved in the first place that they sought Liberation. The mind finds the concept of surrender unacceptable because it is so absolute, so black and white and so uncompromising. Surrender only means ceasing to submit to that which is non-Self or other than Self. Surrender only means ceasing to submit to that which is unreal, untrue, false and illusory. Sooner or later it will become obvious that there is simply no choice and no other way for anyone who wants to be Free. In the end all spiritual practice points finally to surrender alone. 1 9 6
