Sisters-so-surrender, Brothers-so-Bastard I lost my place in Will I be the Hero of My Own Life. Is that symbolic of where the goat I am and am not on my path? No, because in that realm of always been lost not found. My one and only option: to Hoof it. So, the below may have appeared before in a previous dailyD. Like song and poem it’s worth repeating again and a-guru-gain. Spiritual maturity emerges in people who surrender everything—their desires, ambitions, needs, every kind of tension and want. In releasing these aspects of their individuality, they are able to participate completely in their infinite variety of Life. There is no meditation practice, nothing that we can do, that will allow us to arrive at that ultimate state of surrendering everything. Yet only in that ultimate state of surrender do we experience love— for what is love anyway but ultimate self-surrender? The amazing thing is that in that self-surrender we do not experience a depletion. This self-surrender brings a profound and total experience of renewal, and because of that we have value for love. It cannot be understood or analyzed; there is no message in it. It gives no support to any particular direction in our lives. Love is vast beyond all discussion of coming and going, up and down, or right and left. We have spiritual practices and teachers to nourish and support us until we come to a point where we simply, and from within ourselves, can release everything. It is in that complete release that Universal Love reveals itself to our minds and through our bodies into the world. There is nothing more important than the experience of that love. Surrender is difficult because it is only surrender when we do it for its own sake. It can have no other purpose, no program, no reward, no object. It survives and flourishes in an environment in which there is no attachment to the outcome of our activity, but only a general participation in the total ecology of the situation.

This morning my Dad read me the below quotes out loud while I typed them down. Having observed my Dad for the past few days I can attest that he is currently living these very words he read. After contemplating the below words I can attest that I am not. “The whole point of non-volitional living is living without a sense of personal doership. This means merely witnessing whatever happens through all body mind organisms including your own, without comparing, without judging. All though is spontaneous and without substance, a temporary movement in consciousness that is neither to be accepted or rejected, but ignored so that it disappears as spontaneously as it appeared. There cannot be the slightest trace of intention or planning in an action that is spontaneous or natural. You cannot have it by taking thought nor you cannot seek it by not taking thought. Spontaneity can arise only when the split-mind has been abandoned and trust has been put in the working of the whole mind. When you give up all concern for the listener wanting to be a “better” individual by listening to the words and hoping to work towards a perceptible improvement, then do you know what would happen? Then, in that state of intuitive listening, when the listener no longer intrudes, words would throw up and expose their subtle inner meaning, which the fasting or open mind will grasp and apperceive with deep and instant conviction, and then will words have achieved even their limited fulfillment. Spiritual seekers are lost children in a conceptual forrest created by their own imagination.” Ramesh S. Balsekar - The Wisdom of Balsekar The disappointment disappears, like it was never here.
