If one is truly serious about the Realisation of Truth, and the enjoyment of True understanding of Life and Consciousness, not satisfied by merely living under certain spiritual precepts which offer strategies to avoid some degree of suffering, then one must surrender. One must be willing to surrender everything without conditional attachment. One must be prepared to lose everything without consolation, to be vulnerable and pure as a baby entering this world, without ideas of possession, physical, mental, or emOT4onal. True Surrender is submission without the mOT4vation for some deserved Divine dispensation. It is beyond reason, for without total surrender one cannot Realise and truly Know freedom.

The Master Jesus shared a profound teaching in the simple sentence, “Easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” Jesus speaks not exclusively of physical possessions when he speaks of “rich man”, he speaks of attachment to possessions throughout all realms meaning in the form of identification with the body, ideas, thoughts, emOT4ons, etc. Surrender is not a philosophical attainment but a living demonstration of non-separateness.

The one who is deeply seated in surrender depends not upon the righteous actions and illumined insights from days gone past to navigate a course through the turbulent sea of life, but instead offers all things past to be burnt away in the fire of living Truth, and so carries no philosophical nor emOT4onal burden of identification. This one is perpetually emptying the contents of life's experience into the void, Knowing that all that is truly Real will remain intact, and directly experiencable now.

Baha'u'llah the great Persian mystic and Avatar founder of the Bahai Faith said “O Son of Being, Lose not thyself in the world, for with fire we test the gold, and with gold we test the servants.” He says “O Son of Being” quite clearly addressing one as an incarnation or manifestation of Consciousness Itself, rooted in Self Radiant Being, not qualified by any attainment forged by egoic effort. He continues “Lose not thyself in the world” indicating that one should not become misidentified with, nor attached to the world or realms of form, “for with fire we test the gold,” meaning to really Know the Truth of ones Being all understanding must be offered forth to face the fire of purification. All that emerges from the fire unscathed time and again is then Known to be True.

All illusion and impermanent expressions not of the Absolute Truth are burnt away leaving only the Quintessential. Finally he states “and with gold we test the servants.” Here one is given the opportunity to assess that which is really important and finally that which is given the primary importance. Will one accept concepts or the phenomena of spiritual and material attainment for temporary satisfaction, or will one having surrendered everything rest only and finally in Realisation of the Absolute.

This is not a pursuit of acquisition. There is nothing to gain, there is nothing to add. That which you already and always Are is most perfectly complete. There is no idea that can elevate or reduce it. Any such perceptions exist in the mind alone. Truly categorisation only diminishes awareness of Consciousness. You will gain nothing from surrender, you will only lose the burden of an existence filled with the pretence of effort. What relief This Is. Simply put it all down and rest.

That which You Are is the totality of all things, yet no thing at all. Surrendering everything, You Are infinitely Free to Realise This.
