What Does Surrender to God Truly Mean? | Part 1 - 6 Conditions for Surrender | Swami Mukundananda
Main Points:
1 There was one person who was serious of making a guru, so he went to a holy place in India and holy places have so many mahatmas. He went to the ashram of a mahatma and said Babaji, can you please make me your disciple ? I wish you to be my guru. The Mahatma ji blew a mantra in his ear & said हो गया बेटा, the disciple said guru ji, what have you given me ? Guru ji said, I've given you Go-Lok, when you die, I will meet you at the gate and get you inside, now give me my dakshina. The disciple said guru ji, Dakshina ? I have given you Allen (name of a school in USA) and if you want I’ll add flavour to it and if it's not enough I’ll add Frisco (name of the city of USA, in which Allen school is there) as well, the Guru said, badmash this Allen & Frisco & Plano (name of another city near Frisco, of USA )-do they belong to your father that you’ve given them to me. The disciple said does this Go-Lok belong to your father that you’ve given to me, you tell me what I'm supposed to do, you just blew the mantra in ear, that’s it? Give me the knowledge, the divine knowledge, the path to be followed, the behaviour to be Incorporated, the philosophy to be adopted, the process of purifying the heart, what will this one mantra do? https://youtu.be/NVbBdXAgPiI&t=5 2 Similarly, what does a “Sharnagati” mean ? There is a very important verse in this regard, “verse” this verse is in Bhakti-Rasamrit Sindhu, exactly same verse is in Ahirbudhnya Samhita and the Vayu purana also. Three scriptures have got this verse. What does it mean ? It says that “Surrender to God” comprises of six things, you follow these six conditions and you will receive the divine grace. So, if I fulfil five conditions will I see 5/6th of God ? No, it doesn't work like that. If you wish to turn iron into gold, then you bring the Paras close? That is not enough, the Paras has to touch the iron similarly you say, I am 50% surrendered, so let meet half of God now. God says you will get the whole grace when you are fully surrendered, so you need to fulfil all these 6 points. If an aeroplane has got one wire hanging out, the aeroplane doesn't work. Now you say such an expensive A321 is not working because one wire is out, well that is how it is. So unless all the parts of this puzzle of surrender fit, we will not get the grace. The first point is to desire in accordance with the desire of Sharanya, whom we are surrendering to, God & Guru. What do they want - that is what I want. That is Sharanagati (surrender) https://youtu.be/NVbBdXAgPiI&t=102 3 Like Mira Bai Said, if Shri Krishna wants me to laugh, I will laugh & if He wants me to cry, I will not complain, if He wishes to ignore me “who are you ?” I’ve never met you, I’ll not mind, if He wishes to shower His affection on me, I will accept that. Whatever He wishes to do to me, let Him do But, “mere to Giridhar Gopal, doosra na koi, jake sir mor mukut, mero pati soi”. This is the expression of surrender. https://youtu.be/NVbBdXAgPiI&t=238 4 There was one Hazrat Ibrahm, he figures as Prophet Ibraham in the Old Testament. So, Hazrat Ibrahm earlier was a king. In those days, they used to have slaves. So he got a slave boy, he asked that boy, by what name should I call you ? the boy said by whichever name you wish. Hazrat Ibrahm said what will you eat ? he said whatever you wish to feed me. Hazrat Ibrahm said what clothes will you wear ? slave said whatever you give to me. What will you do? whatever you ask. Hazrat ibraham said, don't you have any desire of your own ? the boy said whatever is your desire, is my desire. Hazrat Ibrahm said you are my guru, you have taught me, how to surrender to God, now you are free, Go ! https://youtu.be/NVbBdXAgPiI&t=281 5 So, why should we make our desire conformed to the desire of God ? Because He is our Master and we are His servants, the servant is to fulfill the wish of the Master. “Thy will be done” - this is the first condition of surrender https://youtu.be/NVbBdXAgPiI&t=362 Transcript 0:05 there was one person who was serious of making a guru so he went to a holy place 0:15 in India and holy places have so many mahatmas he went to the ashram of 0:21 a mahatma and said babaji can you please make me your disciple I wish you to be 0:26 my guru the Mahatma ji blew a mantra in his ear & said हो गया बेटा the disciple said 0:35 Guru ji what have you given me guru ji said I've given you Go-Lok when you die I will meet 0:43 you at the gate and get you inside now give me my Dakshina the disciple said 0:51 guru ji Dakshina ?
