Excellently explained how we need to surrender to the will of God and Guru at all times. Swamiji started explaining the beautiful example of barber, who did not believe in God, later realized there is God but we are not using our free will go towards Him. Loved the concept of Surrender, The example of Meerabai words most powerful. We must keep our will in accordance with God and Gurus. The four disciples story where each were not obeying the instructions of their Guru. Its revealing how we must not apply our intellect in front of God and Guru. God gave us the choice of free will to use it judiciously to move forward towards the supreme goal of life. Loved the four kinds of disciples who has different attitudes towards the seva. Maharshi Arabindo words are revealing how Maya helps us make us force towards goal. This world is made of Maya, but when we choose God instead Maya by surrendering to Him at each and every moment we will attain Him.

@smitamehtadenton 3 года назад

There are 4 categories of jeevas with respect to fulfilling God or Guru’s instructions: The 1st understands their desire and fulfills it without being told. The 2nd has to be instructed but he fulfills them with devotion and love. The 3rd begrudgingly fulfills the Guru’s instructions. The 4th fails to comply. It is very humbling to know that a vast majority of us are in the 4th category. Thank you for this lesson, Swamiji.

True. But we will have to be very careful and alert. The lower mind can trick us into believing this is according to the will of the God while it may not. So, purification of the mind also is needed.

Such a beautiful explanation of surrender by Swamiji. We must exert our willpower when Maya presents temptations that will take us away from GOD. At that point we must choose the option that will please GOD and GURU in the attitude of service to THEM instead of our self gratification. Thank you Swamiji.

Swamiji beautifully portrays the minds of ordinary devotees through a funny story of disciples who do not follow any of Guru's instructions except for eating food. Many of us are no different. Whenever Swamiji asks us to do something; we only do the seva that we like. Rather we should be working and doing things what Swamiji or Guru likes. That is actual surrender.

@valuenut2010 3 года назад

Why did God bestow us the free will to choose? So that we can choose to love him. As machine cannot choose and love. That is really the power of choice that we all have!

@priyaalaraj4749 3 года назад
