Surrender

All that one can surrender,

surrender it, without question.

-Maharthamanjari

The sun teaches the dew
how to surrender life.

-Mirza Ghalib

But after much thought,
I have come to the conclusion 

that there is nothing more difficult in this world
than to surrender completely.
This is one of man's greatest sorrows.
-Clarice Lispector

If you cannot surrender yourself to the process of life,

you are like a stream arguing with a rock.

Do you think a river comes up to a rock

and spends all its time trying to move it?

Of course not.

The stream encompasses the rock.

The rock becomes a feature of the stream.

in time the rock becomes smooth

and all its edges polished.

The radiance of its structure is revealed.

-Chetanananda

Surrender is an important part of all spiritual practice,

and what we are surrendering to 

is the reality of non-separateness, of impermanence.

-Bodhipaksa

It is not by resisting or running away from,

but by that deep act of surrender

that the divine is realized.

And that amazingly does not take time.

Surrender can only be now.

-Eckhart Tolle

Surrender is the most difficult thing in the world
while you are doing it,
and the easiest when it is done.
-Irina Tweedie

At the crossroad of life and death,

surrender is the exit into the bigger, quieter world.

Without surrender, the door can never be opened.

-Sang H. Kim

Only a person established in surrender

attains the vision of the infinite.

Surrender of our earthly will is the essence of yoga,

the essence of spirituality.

It is the essence of God-realization - 

something not easily accomplished.

-Chetanananda

Can you sustain surrender?
Can you sacrifice ego
Over and over and over
until the Divine has become you
Until the veil is so thin that you live on Light on Love
On the shine of Perfection?
-Chris McCombs
