Let go of it all chapter 3🔗

The only thing holding you back from the Ultimate, is your ego. Simply surrender yourself. That's all! By surrender I don't mean imitate me or try to be like me. I mean simply surrender all your ideologies and all your conditionings to me. Then, your individuality will be revealed to you.

- Let go of it All -

A visitor asks, I have heard You speak a lot about surrender. Could You please tell me exactly what You mean by surrender?

eing a disciple is surrender, nothing more. It means that you no longer resist; you simply let go. Unnecessary time is wasted when you resist. It is as if you have gone into a hospital and you yourself are resisting the doctor. And he is the one who is treating you! He is the one who will give you relief!

This is a surgery. You must have full trust in the Master. Only then can anything be done. But he will never start the operation unless you are ready. When he sees that you are ready with trust, he starts. And it is a beautiful surgery. There may be pain, because your ego is leaving you. And your ego is what you have known yourself to be. But if you remain trusting the Master, the ego will simply leave you. All the energy which you have wasted all this time in your head will now move towards its source, back to the center.

But I still don't think I understand what surrender means. How do I know if I have surrendered or not?

You must simply experience it. Only then you will know; only then you will understand.

It is like this: you have never tasted sugar before. And you come to me and ask what sugar tastes like. All I can tell you is that it is sweet. But will you understand what sweet is if you haven't tasted sugar yourself? No! You must taste and experience it for yourself.

If you are receptive with deep trust, it is more than enough. The surrender will happen on its own. This is because surrender is nothing but trust and deep love.

Actually, the Master is just a channel. Your being yearns to surrender itself to its source that is the cosmos. But it is difficult because the cosmos is abstract and the mind comes in the way. The Master is nothing but a manifestation of the cosmos. The Master is a small window through which you can see the vast sky. He is the path to the cosmos. If you first surrender to a form which you can see, over time, it will be easy to surrender to the formless.

So, to be a disciple means, to surrender. In the beginning you surrender to the Master and then to the Cosmos or Existence. It is like this: the river must flow towards the ocean. For this, it has to flow with the current; it cannot flow against it. And only when it reaches the ocean, has it merged with its source, has it really found its reality. So understand: only when you have lost yourself to the source, you have found yourself. And the Master is the current that pulls you to your own source.

You see: as of now, you believe in your ego. This is only because you have been living so much with it that you have started believing you are the ego. It is only in surrender that you come to know who you really are. Surrender means surrendering the ego; all of your falsity. Your ego is the base for all the falsity in you. When I say falsity, I mean all the thoughts in you that delude you into thinking that you are separate from this cosmos. So once the ego is surrendered, your reality starts rising. Understand, it is your ego that is the core for all falsity. It exists in your head. But your reality, your being exists within every cell of your body because your head is societal, while your body is natural.

And this is the reason why the Master-disciple relationship is the deepest. It is a being level relationship. Even lovers are not so close; and they cannot be. Lovers are attracted by each other's egos. And the very nature of the ego is domination. If they operate from their egos, what will happen? There will naturally be conflict.

Actually, if you see, the relationship between the Master and disciple is the

- Let go of it All -

only one where there is no domination; where there is a voluntary surrender. It is the only relationship where one surrenders everything that he has ever known - all forms of ego. The disciple's core becomes trust; every pore vibrates with love. This is the beauty of it.

By love, I do not mean the love which we have all experienced in regular relationships. It is the kind of love where nothing is felt; neither hate nor love; neither greed nor jealousy; just a surrender. Only when you don't feel anything at all can you really love. Real love happens only after surrender.

So, as I said before, it will be difficult for you to surrender to Existence, because it has no form. If I tell you to surrender to the sky, you may find it difficult. But when you surrender to my form, it is easier. I am a device for you to surrender. And I am a pure device because the Master is nothing but a pure channel through which Existential energy flows all the time.

So my form is available for those who feel the need to sit at the Master's feet and leave their egos. Let you be clear: you may see my feet, but there is nothing inside. You may see my form, but there is nothing inside it. My form is just a hollow channel for Existence to flow. Whether you surrender to my form or to the sky, makes no real difference.

As of now, you are doing the opposite. Instead of surrendering the ego to me, you have surrendered to the ego itself! When you come to me, all sorts of things will be clouding your mind. Your ego will tell you that you are losing your freedom and this type of thing is not for you. Just show the red card to it. It is your ego that has stripped you of your freedom and which is coming and telling you that you have no freedom! It is only because you continue to be in the mind's boundary, within the ego's game, that you are stuck.

I am an excuse for you to drop the ego. It is not that you are going to surrender to me, to this 6-foot form. And what will I sit and do with so many egos? I am simply the object to which you surrender, that's all. The point is your act of surrender, not me.

Only when you drop the ego will you realize that you have not dropped anything. It is only your ego which has dropped you. Then all the conditioning which you have accumulated disappears. You come to know yourself.

The problem is that the ego, the mind, thinks that it is very intelligent. It will go on telling you some nonsense, and because you have surrendered to it, you trust its so-called guidance. The Master will quickly help you overcome this binding to your mind.
