LOVE IS SURRENDER.....
When you truly love someone, you willingly let go of control, your own needs and desires to a certain extent, and trust yourself completely to the other person, accepting them fully as they are, which often involves relinquishing the need to manipulate or dominate the relationship; it signifies a deep commitment and vulnerability in love, where you open yourself up to another without reservation. .
Whomsoever you love, you have surrendered. Your entire consciousness, your whole mind, heart, everything becomes so supple! Surrender is nothing but the delicate and supple level of your consciousness. It's not a doing; it's a state of being when the mind is free of doubts and troubles...
How can we experience infinity? It is possible only through love.
Love is the only thing you cannot think about, if you think about it, it ceases to be love. When thinking stops, love begins. Lovers talk very silly things, so they are not thinking.
They say same things over and over again a thousand times, which a thoughtful person would not. With whosoever we fall in love with should know, we are really falling in love with ourselves. The truth is that we do not realise it because we are all the time caught up in the name and form; love is formless. Name and forms can be a way to begin the process of being in love. It can kindle love in you; but then it takes you beyond the name and form to the true nature, which is pure energy.
Surrender is not submission. Only the brave can surrender, or the knowledgeable and the wise can surrender.
What does it mean to surrender?
It is realising that, anywhere, everything belongs to the divine already. “I” am not in control – that is surrender. This little mind realises that it is not in control; the entire universe runs on its own and it does not matter whether you exist on this planet or not, things will happen.
Same way, you realise, that your life is a happening and you are a happening in this ocean of consciousness; your heart beats by itself and you are not making it beat; your breath moves by itself; sleep comes, you feel good and bad; all this phenomenon is happening in your life. And with this realisation comes a deep relaxation, a feeling of trust and being at home; that is surrender...
Why is there so much fear about surrender; you think you will lose something? Just wake up and see you have nothing to lose in the first place. And even if you think you have something, then how long can you hold on to? People part with their belongings to their near and dear ones because they cannot take it with them.
Surrender is not an act; just relax in peace and you are surrendered. All the moments when you feel very happy, calm, pleasant, joyful; knowingly, unknowingly you are in the state of surrender. And those moments when you feel still, rigid, unpleasant, unhappy, fearful, you are not in the state of surrender.
True love demands true surrender and acceptance. Remember that love is a life-long journey, and not simply a destination!
