Sandeep Sambhayal

Answer

It is difficult to surrender when you want to do it. Because this ‘you’ is the ego. Why would the ego wish to surrender for it cannot surrender? As long as this ‘I’ is present, as long as this ego is present, the surrender will not happen and moreover surrendering is not a conscious effort. One just has to dissolve. What to do to dissolve? Just be in association with the one who has dissolved the ego, that’s the only way to dissolve yourself.

You have asked me Sandeep, how to become a non doer while doing everything? Well watching every action of your body can help you be a no doer while doing everything. While you are speaking, hearing, tasting, sitting, standing, you need to be aware that all the actions being done by the body and know that all the sensations are happening in the body and body is not me. While you do this, you become the observer, the watcher. You are then aware that I am not this body, but I am the watcher who is watching the body doing all the actions

And once you have mastered this practice then, you move on to your breath. Watch your breath and as your observation goes deeper you will discover that things are just happening and you are not the doer. We think that we are doing the stuff, but actually the things are just happening. Situations make us viable to respond to the impulses rising within us.

So when the night falls you feel sleepy, when the Sun rises at the horizon, something in your body too wakes up. This is because you haven’t evolved your consciousness till now and you are just functioning like a toy with a remote control. Some one presses the button, you are happy. When someone praises you, you get ecstatic, when someone says bad words to you; you get upset and feel sad.

So where is your integrity? Who are you? One should be able to use mind, body and emotions. But for now the situation is this that the mind, emotions and body are collectively using ‘you’ and you don’t know who ‘you’ really are and how to manage the faculties of your mind, intellect and emotions.
