Results are instant but takes decades to learn how to surrender
Why?
We have a mind , intellect, chitt , ego and past habits ( mana, buddhi, Chitta, ahamkar, antaskarana)
Every part of it must surrender to God.
- So you read the blogs and scripture. What happens, you want to meditate, read the wonders of the mediation but your mind will get tired. Oh I will skip today. Body is tired. And it well say what if I follow the path and nothing Happens. Or what if the teacher is fake.
- And then as we meditate, do down our emotions create a scene, oh once I reach this high state, maybe j can do the miracles like Neem karoli Baba or help others or enjoy life or my problems will go away etc.
- Then ego will bring it’s ugly head. Oh why do I have to do all this? Why can’t someone Not just give it to me. I am nice. So wonderful. Pure. I care for others. I say I forgive me enemies. Why should I bow to a Guru. Oh that’s wrong. The Bible says not you do that. Now I meditated give me some more money or peace.
- Then on top of it. Your past habits will interfere. You body habits.
Now of course, surrender means you accept whatever comes your way. Including the way God runs the world. The evil flourish and good get persecuted. I disagree with what he does. I know I can run the world better than God. Ask anyone. NO YOU CAN’T ASK MY WIFE. do you see why surrender is so difficult. It’s not Easy
Takes years of practice. Like Shakespeares book
