Surrendering Means You Are No More----Only He/She/ONE (Not Two) IS
I have read a story which goes like this.
I have read a story which goes like this.
Once the son of a king was serious.
The king had done everything to save his son.
But there was no hope anymore of his survival.
The prime minister said to the king to visit a famous saint as a last resort.
The king reluctantly went to the saint.
The saint came to palace and cured his son, but he asked the king, "What he is going to offer as gift/payment in lieu of his services i.e. saving his son".
The king replied ----"The whole kingdom....anything/everything ...whatever you say".
The saint smiled and said, "What he is going to do with the kingdom as he has already left his kingdom a long back (before becoming saint he was a prince)".
The saint said, " Ok, as you are ready to sacrifice/part everything, I want (ask for) you".
The king, who must have been very intelligent like king Janaka (Ashtavakra's disciple) understood the saint's point and surrendered before the saint.
The saint clarified, "Once you are mine, your whole kingdom is also mine. You are me and I am you".
The purport/pointer is
"once you merge with another i.e. the feeling of separation with another comes to naught because of unknown reasons.....in other words this happening is also known as 'surrender', you will never find anything negative in other person's act because after merger you start looking from other person's eyes as you have now no concern with what other person does. His/her doing is your doing and who does not like his/her own doing. Reason/logic completely fails. This is what real (mature) LOVE is which never fades away as it is there "not because of something, but despite everything"....this love has got itself revealed......unlike blind (immature/instinctive) love."
Its (surrender) a part or spark of the greatest surrender to the WHOLE only.
