“You believe you’re a human being. You believe you have to solve problems, take action of some kind [because] unless you do it nobody else will do it. But I tell you nobody has to do anything. What has to be done will be done without you. You’re not needed. Nobody wants you. Nobody needs you. Give up. This is a very important to understand. It is only when you feel this way, when you give up, that the truth comes out.
As long as you feel you’re somebody—you’re filled with good thoughts, bad thoughts, preconceived ideas, dogmas—you can never surrender, you can never give up. But … you begin to see [that] things that are happening in your life do not really matter because things will always work themselves out, for you live in a universe that loves you.
You live in a universe of pure joy. You can only see this when you stop identifying with things. When you no longer take concern over what you should eat, what you should wear, where you should go, then something strange happens. The power that knows the way. That grows the mangoes on the mango trees, the papayas, apples, pears, grows wheat. The power that gives you sunshine. Enough sunshine to maintain and sustain this whole universe in order to be life here.
When you surrender to this power, it will take care of you. This is something you all have to understand. There is a power that loves us. You may call this God, divine intelligence, makes no difference what you call it but it’s a power that loves you and will take care of you and will enlighten you and delight you.
Your job is to surrender to it totally, absolutely. To let go of your personal ambitions, to let go of trying to become something, to let go of all the earthly things so-to-speak. It is only then will this power that knows the way will come to your aid and lift you up in the stream of blessedness that you won’t know what hit you. You’ll be blissed out.”
~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)
