Surrender is a very
misunderstood word, specially in
a society that is geared towards
striving and winning. Surrender
does not mean in any way that we
are quitting, but that we are
allowing our inner desires
determine what direction should
we take. That is one way of
"seeking first the kingdom of
heaven and its righteousness, and
all of these things will be added
on you." [Matthew 6:33]
Some people misunderstand that
phrase and they think that all
they need to do is sit down and
meditate the whole day and all
the things they want will
spontaneously manifest. Well,
that is a possibility, only if
the individual have reached the
level of awareness that will
allow him or her accomplish that
task. What is interesting, is
that the Masters who have
achieved that level of
enlightenment are not even
concerned with impressing people
with material possessions or
accomplishments because they have
found something far more
exciting. They have found a sense
of True Self. An unexplainable
sense of inner peace that can't
be explained. It can only be
experienced.
Meditation is a part of my
life in which by resting my mind
I allow the flow of ideas to come
through uninterrupted by other
thoughts. Then, I act upon those
ideas and is amazing the miracles
that manifest in my life. When
people set goals, which I am not
saying that they are bad or good,
all they are doing to a certain
degree, is showing their need to
be in control. That is why
surrendering is a very scary
thing for most people, specially
when we are told that we are the
ones who design our lives. That
does not mean that by setting
goals we are not going to get the
some of the things we strive for,
it simply means that we will have
to struggle, work hard and strive
for those things. As a result of
such struggle and hard work there
are consequences. Some of these
show up in a form of health
issues, massive loss and
suffering. In extreme cases where
people chase what they think will
bring them happiness and
fulfillment, and later on
discovering that after having all
that they thought they wanted
they still feel a sense of
emptiness, depression and suicide
follows.
When we surrender we are not
idle, just the opposite, we
sometimes are taking massive
action! And sometimes we don't.
What happens is that we are so
infused doing something we enjoy,
not necessarily for the sake of
getting anything, but for the
sake of being, that we loose
track of time and space. A
musician for example, who loves
to play her/his instrument does
not want to play for the sake of
making money and go home to a
pathetic life. If that is his/her
true desire, she/he wants to
share it with the rest of the
world. As a result of that, we
can all benefit by the gift of
that particular individual. And
in return that musician will make
$$$. Then you will not only end
up acquiring the things you
thought will make you happy
(goals) but you will end up with
a sense of fulfillment that can
never be measured by any external
material or non-material
possession. The same principles
applies not only to artists but
to all kinds of business as well.
What is your dream? Begin to
act upon it NOW! If you do not
move in the direction of your
dreams, you are denying me and
the rest of the world from the
blessing of you gift.
