It is only when you reach the inner depths of the soul, that surrender is complete. The external self, is slow and reluctant to surrender.
The first step is to reach the soul. That experience is unlike anything. Once there, the surface external self eventually can be trained to learn the surrender.
The inner depths of a being, is the real self.
Once you reach there, you can understand what Ramkrishna said – prayer like a kitten! Until then, all prayers are like the monkeys baby.
The soul offers itself to the divine! That is true bhakti. Gurudev used to say, “bhajan gaava thi kadi bhakti kahevay nahin, bhakti no bheda ghano nyaro re” meaning, singing devotional songs is not bhakti or devotion. The secret of bhakti or devotion is very different.
Reaching the depths of the soul requires the attention be focused all the way in the back and above!
Many secrets were revealed but the long lapse in writing the blogs – I have forgotten them! I no longer remember the smaller steps needed to get there. However, it literally takes seconds to reach that stage.
Once there, in time, as the consciousness progresses, one learns to see and experience different worlds (Samadhi). One may loose external conscousness or may experience both worlds simultaneously!
Each experience in the other world has a different meaning and significance. Not all visions are materialized in this world
