Awakening is a Direct Experience.
An ‘Instant Experience’. It happens.
But prior to Awakening,
Comes a Complete Surrender.
Not ‘visions’ – Not ‘spiritual experiences’, but a total and complete surrender to The Self!
When I say IT’s a ‘Complete Surrender’, it’s exactly what I mean.
You Surrender your entire life!
This means:
All your problems, All the things you think are bothering you.
All the good things,
All the bad things; Everything is Totally Surrendered to The Self.
And – as you’re doing this,
You automatically become Compassionate, and have a tremendous amount of Humility, transpiring within yourself.
These are the three things that happen to you, prior to awakening:
There is a Total Surrender to God. Not certain things.
I know some of you like to surrender the bad things. Forget about that!
You just Surrender.
Totally and Completely!
The bad and good things, are all part of the ‘relative world’. And the whole relative world has to be Totally and Completely surrendered;
… Totally given up!
Then a Great Compassion, and a Great Humility, will come by ITSelf.
You see, we’re not trying to ‘do’ these things -‘physically’. We just let ourselves fall into The Space, where all these things happen by themselves.
And this comes from ‘sitting in The Silence’.
You see how all these things, are connected to each other.
As you sit in The Silence
Without desire,
Without want,
Without trying to change bad for good.
All of a sudden, you will feel yourself Surrendering.
Surrendering all of your ego:
The body-mind surrenders.
Everything lets go!
And you become The Epitome Of Compassion. A Tremendous Humility wells up within you.
When you can feel these things.
The next step – is to Awaken Totally!
