Victory Through Surrender

Surrender is considered a bad word. People think of defeat. People think everything is over once you surrender.

But many times, victory is possible only through surrender.

Many times what seems obvious, isn't. And what doesn't seem obvious is the thing that needs to be done.

Surrender has immense power.

For instance, let us say you go to a restaurant with a group of friends or colleagues or clients. Many times, people try hard, trying to order the right thing or trying to convince others to order what you think is the right thing.

For a change, simply try surrendering, tell them, "You are okay with whatever everyone is having." (if you are a vegetarian or vegan, simply let everyone know.)

You will suddenly feel free, because you are not putting up a fight. You are not trying to impose your choices on others.

Many times, victory happens by surrendering.

Look at the forces of life. Once you surrender you can harmonize with these forces.

For instance, let your husband, wife, partner, kids, friends, discover their own path. Many times you spend too much time trying to fight their ideas or force your views on them.

The more you fight, the more resistance they put up. Let them go on their own journey, and many times you will be surprised what happens.

For instance, let us say you want your husband to meditate and keep telling him, "Why don't you ever meditate? I have told you so many times to meditate. It will help you feel calmer and more creative."

Your husband will resist meditation. Instead let him be.

Simply tell him, "If you ever feel like meditating, let me know. I know a good technique and have been practicing it."

And then let go, if he is meant to meditate he will ask you. If he isn't, it means he isn't ready yet.

You free yourself up.

Works for everything. Try it out and you will be surprised at how your life will change.

The Western mind finds this hard to understand, as it goes against logic.

But many things aren't about logic. Look at nature, no logical mind can explain how a seed becomes a massive tree.

How does a tiny seed transform into a giant oak that is an entire Universe for birds, insect and micro-organism?

It is the magic of surrender. The seed surrenders to the forces of nature. To the soil, to the sun, to the water, to the insects and grows into a tree.

Today, ask yourself, what are you resisting? What are you fighting? Is your ego stopping you?

Can you try surrendering? Can you use that energy to be in full harmony with your cosmic existence and channelize your inner possibility towards a conscious existence?

An existence that is in a state of flow.
