Sharanagata

The meaning of surrender is becoming clear in my consciousness.

When in a sacred moment of rising aspiration we throw ourselves at Your lotus feet
offering all our life, all we are, our past, present and future
and take refuge exclusively in You,
rely and depend on You alone
and leave everything to You without any demand,
willing to accept whatever comes from You or is taken away from us,
ready to serve You in any way You want,
when we become a docile, vibrant instrument in Your hands,
then only we realise  the profound significance of surrender – Sharanagata –
one who  has taken refuge in the Divine Mother, the Supreme.

This surrender is progressive.
The aspiring soul is progressively possessed by the divine consciousness
An integral surrender will necessarily l
lead to identification with the divine consciousness.

Whatever is given to the Divine is transmuted and possessed by Him

Finally the Divine alone acts through the instrument
in order to further develop the divine life on earth.
