The Secret of Surrender

The Secret of Surrender
Deepak Chopra

The secret of surrender, is to let go and flow.
It is not having the desire to convince, cajole, manipulate, control, or seduce.
Surrender is being alert to exactly what is happening now.
Inside is an impulse of love, dissolving some old imprint.
If we create any open space within ourselves, love will fill it.

No one is wrong.
In the eyes of love, all people are doing the best they can from their own level of sub consciousness.
We have no enemies, once we decide to surrender.
Surrender means not giving into another, but giving into love.
Love never forces.
Love is intelligent and brings only what you need.

Forgiveness is born of increased awareness.
The more we can see, the easier it is to forgive.
A heart that has learned to trust, can be addressed in the world.
A love based on Spirit, has no fear of being wounded.
We find our path, not by thinking, feeling or doing, but through surrender.

Surrender reveals the impulses of Spirit, beneath the mask of ego.
Surrender in relationship, is valuable only as surrender to Spirit.
Surrender must begin on the smallest, most intimate scale.
It starts with you and someone you love, learning to be together without resistance of fear.
Love in the spiritual sense, involves letting go of all that is known.
