"The very first step in understanding what this is all about is giving up the concept of an active, volitional 'I' as a separate entity and accepting the passive role of perceiving and functioning as a process." - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Surrender Powerful than Destiny

Sri Sarada Devi

Even the injunctions of destiny are cancelled if one takes refuge in God. Destiny strikes off with her own hands what she had written about such a person.
**************************************************
Difficulties come, but they do not last for ever. You will see that they pass away like water under a bridge.
The Master used to say, “At the time of death I shall have to stand by those who pray to me.”
These are the words from his own lips.
*************************************************
Lay the burden of your mind before Sri Ramakrishna. Tell him your sorrows with your tears. You will find that he will fill your arms with the desired object.
**************************************************

Do you think that even when this body passes away, I can have any release unless every one of those, whose responsibility I have taken on myself, is out of bondage? I must constantly live with them. I have taken complete charge of everything, good or bad, regarding them. I cannot simply set aside those whom I have accepted as my own.

सर्वभूताधिवासं यद्भूतेषु च वसत्यपि।
सर्वानुग्राहकत्वेन तद्स्म्यहं वासुदेवः॥

That in whom reside all beings and who resides in all beings,
who is the giver of grace to all, the Supreme Soul of the universe, the limitless being:
I AM THAT. -- Amritabindu Upanishad
