#A Practical Lesson in Spirituality

INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE

FULL TRANSCRIPT

Hello and welcome to the malkan Show podcast. I am Meghan malkan. Thanks so much for joining me today on this episode of the podcast.

I know your time is valuable and I'm really happy that you're listening to me today I had begun with this podcast because after being coached by the world's best I wanted.

Share with you guys what success habits such as tools and queues have helped me get on to higher levels of performance at work. Have a great relationship with our spouses and kids and what really helps me focused and motivated all the time. So guys let's dive into the next episode.

Quite often we hear the word surrender. Most of the time It's associated with spirituality. So let us really understand the meaning of this word.

And what does it mean to lift the word in the current times that we are living in reality surrender just refers to as the requirement for living your life in harmony with the higher power it is as if you are required to let go of certain limitations or restrictions in your thinking as well as behavior in order.

To make progress on the spiritual path. So it implies giving up these impediments which bind you to that narrow circumscribed vision of your sense as belonging to a particular race or caste religion culture or even a profession of course on this labor is irrelevant.

I don't mean otherwise but these labels do not express the highest truth of who won really is so in a way surrender implies expansion. And openness is a willingness to embrace a wider Paradigm of who one really is.

So this goes to the next question. How does surrender happen? To begin with, it starts with acceptance and adaptability. But remember surrender isn't an intellectual exercise.

It is a spontaneous letting go it's a willingness to trust and heartfelt faith in the inherent order of the cosmic design of Life, which the universe is built up.

It is only when you accept what is there you can surrender to what is going to come. Just flow with the current of life one must be like that fluids wave in the ocean. But how do these move they move without any effort that carried by the surging magnitude of the ocean?

So when you surrender you feel the mighty force of nature guiding your movement forward and backward and you would feel as if one is being carried towards one destination by a power, which is greater than one's own individual bill.

The joy of surrender is that it gives you the ability to live more fully in the present moment. And to let go of some of the burdens of memories of the past and also the expectations of the future.

So one can just be present and live simply more naturally with a cause greater Freedom traditionally in the East surrender things actually because people lived more in harmony with the laws of nature and they could heat the messages of their inner being.

Allowed to say is you know the shortest test if a man is sane if he accepts his life hole as it is without needing by measure or touch to understand the measureless Untouchable source of its images of the measureless Untouchable source of its substances.

I love this verse So in a way Surrender would only mean to yield.

So when you hear you can withstand anything that happens without losing your balance think about how beautiful and empowering that could be So you may be buffeted by storms, but still you would not be overthrown by The Winds of Change no matter how turbulent they become because you know in the Deep core of your being that everything goes right in the end and that you will find your way home.

So that leads to another thing that surrender is which is unshakable faith. Turn away. It means that steadiness that calm in our Stillness there is present in the depths of one's being.

So it makes you soft which is an ability to bend but not break. It frees you from worry and fear. It helps you to staunchly face all the challenges tribulations of life with undaunted Faith.

So inwardly thicker acknowledging whatever is happening with you and you know that it's for the best even though outwardly the reason for the present Calamity. That struck may not be understood.

Did this firm conviction that's rooted in one subconscious? You can emerge Victorious from any circumstance. So that leads to the next question suppose you say? Okay.

I'm going to surrender I'm ready to surrender. I'm willing to do that.

But you will ask that when I Surrender whom do I surrender to and that's a great question because one is surrender to the Invincible power that creates and governs the universe and the same power which is designed every particle of matter from the tiniest cell to the farthest orbits of the galaxies. You can surrender the

expression of the intelligence, which is it could be anything. It could be the universal mother the Shakti Accord the Brahma and the one or the source of life itself, whatever you may choose to call it as very do that.

You are actually surrendering to your inner self to the soul that you are. Let's silence the inner voice that guides you and inspires you on the time without ever forcing you into anything and that inner self is the link between And your intelligence and the door intelligence and the cosmic intelligence.

It's like the link between your soul and God and when you surrender to that intelligence that links you're surrendering to that source of creativity source of energy and intelligence at the deepest level of your existence.

So if you view this process of surrender, it's like the process of a wave melting into a rhythmic rise and fall of the ocean when it comes to surrendering.

I always love the analogy of waves and the ocean. It becomes easy for me to give in to the moment when I think that I am the wave and I just have to surrender to the bigger flowing ocean.

It's like I'm surrendering to the flow of Life the dance in which the dance and the dancer become solve 1.

And we have our own experience of surrender dies for me. It happens mainly through meditation because when I close my eyes, I feel that ego surrendering to the bigger ego the bigger intelligence of the cosmic universe.

And then there's this feeling of Oneness Stillness and the piece so it may have their own form of surrender to something that's right for you because once one surrenders to the says, it's like you surrender to the sword you surrendering to the source of everything that is good everything.

That's true everything that's beautiful in the universe and this movement brings a sense of that sense of renewal and that cafe. Ends of freedom because like you loosening the entanglements created by the Mind by winter light and above all by your ego.

The next Golden question is how do you arrive at such a state of surrender? It feels good. I mean it looks it it it looks as it told me it may be feeling great.

But how do you arrive and that's all that state the force method is simply by relaxing and letting go it's being simple freeing the mind of worries doubts and fears and just being a small smile on her face. It's like you're smiling at life.

And accept and cure for you, whatever. I'm still waiting because by surrendering you are gaining the ability to move forward patiently with Grace and Faith.

When you arrive at the state of surrender by letting go of that tendency to control to manipulate to force events in your life to force people and situations into a shape that you desire. That's when it happens.

Usually, when things don't go our way we become anxious but this anxiety creates obstacles in the path. of achievement but has won awards in the spiritual path.

You can gradually begin to feel that there is a reason underlying the Apparently unpredictable occurrences and challenges that you're facing and that once you die, once you go deeper into your awareness of yourself, you can progress towards a state of inner peace and Harmony you become Seeker on the path of self-knowledge and that is when the path of surrender has just about opened up for you. So it's like a flower your awareness begins to open.

After that inner sun, which is so beautiful. - ego and as surrenders to that higher self that inner divine nature then the process of evolution starts it all just begins.

Of course, there are inevitable hurdles to overcome not saying that evolution is Bumpy, but riding on the crest of that fast-flowing waves, you like-kind if you move arrest Lee forward towards their goal. The result of surrender is that you become more and more capable of living spawned a stick from the heart.

From the core of your being that isn't caught up in the conflict of mind and heart so all in all this is a beautiful path to explore something that leads you towards higher freedom from all the anxiety worry and fear and something that pulls you towards the best self that you can be.

I believe we all should Endeavor to live on the path of surrender go. Try it out. I wish you all the best.
