Part 2 Accepting God's Will | - 6 Conditions for Surrender by Swami Mukundanand
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvLPCp3LTvc Main Points: 1 There's the story of Lord Rama, when He went in Dandakaranya to Pampasar lake, he was extremely thirsty, so He placed His bow on the earth and stooped to take a drink of water from the lake, apparently unknown to Him, He had put his bow on a frog. So after he had his fill of Water, He cast His glance and He found that the frog was badly bruised and cut by the weight of his Sarang (Name of His bow) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvLPCp3LTvc&t=5 2 So Lord Rama was moved to pity, He said, “my dear frog, what is this, you have been bruised so badly, you did not complain? I have given you such a big throat, you could have made some sound but you did not cry out”. The Frog said, “my Lord, whenever I have been in trouble, I have cried out to God, to Lord Rama, today Rama Himself is putting me in trouble, now to whom should I cry out ? I'm not complaining, I'm accepting this as Your will, I was praying, give me the strength to bear with this pain “ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvLPCp3LTvc&t=41 3 “#Surrender Condition 2”, second condition of surrendot to desire against the desire of God. We put in our best efforts but the results are in His hands. After doing your best, whatever comes, accept it. If we complain, “Why did God do this to me?” surrender finishes. The moment you say, “why did you do this, Oh God”, there is NO surrender, surrender always means “Yes, God” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvLPCp3LTvc&t=97 4 see in the Srimad Bhagavatam, there is a very powerful “verse”, Srimad Bhagavatam says that if you can fulfill these three conditions, then Bhakti will become your “Dayabhak” - Uttaradhikar (उत्तराधिकार) (Inheritance), i.e., God's property will become your property (like in inheritance from father to son), three conditions you need to fulfill, what are these ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvLPCp3LTvc&t=135 5 First is to keep waiting for His grace, don't complain “God is not blessing me”! No, the difficulty is from my side, “तेरे करम में कमी नहीं, तू करीम है, कसूर मेरा है, झूठा उम्मीदवार हूँ मैं”, Never complain “Lord, why did You not grace”, the defect is from my side & I must keep waiting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvLPCp3LTvc&t=182 6 second condition of surrender to God is that whatever joy, sorrow we get as a result of our past karmas, to accept them gracefully without complaining. One disciple went to his guru, “Guruji, I have this problem, that problem, how will I do sadhna” ? Guruji said, “my child, the best sadhana is to tolerate this problem, that problem without any negativity. There is no better sadhana than this, so the second condition is that you tolerate the karmas, karmic reactions, which are coming your way without complaint https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvLPCp3LTvc&t=216 7 The third condition is that with your body, with your mind & with your word, offer your pranam (obeisance) to the Lord. This is the “anukul sankalp”, positive thinking towards Him, so the Srimad Bhagavatam says if you can just fulfill just these three conditions, then Bhakti will become your “Dayabhak” – Uttaradhikar, i.e., inheritance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvLPCp3LTvc&t=266 Transcript 0:05 There's the story of Lord Rama When He went in Dandakaranya to Pampasar lake, 0:12 he was extremely thirsty so he placed 0:17 his bow on the earth and stooped to take a drink of water from the lake 0:26 apparently unknown to him he had put his bow on a frog so after he had his fill of 0:34 water he cast his glance and he found that the frog was badly bruised and cut 0:41 By the weight of his Sarang (Name of His bow) so Lord Rama was moved to pity he said my dear frog what 0:51 is this you have been bruised so badly you did 0:56 not complain?
