“SURRENDER”

Mind (ego) cannot grasp truth. This is because, although truth is in the nondual world, the mind (ego) knows only the dual world and lives and sees only that dual world, and moreover, because the mind (ego) cannot even open itself unconditionally to the unknown because of “fear,” it cannot inevitably transcend the dual world (enter into the unknown).

On the other hand, the mind (ego) often categorizes itself and others into something, and then indulges in self (ego)-satisfied through self (ego) deception, or with its illusory sense of security. It cannot help but confirm its security and safety by counting up the various conditions it (the ego) has achieved

Because, otherwise, it cannot settle down.

Its targets are wide-ranging, but truth does not exist anywhere in the illusory dual world that such mind (ego) sees.

Truth can only be grasped when the mind (ego) is sublimated, absorbed (integrated) completely (in a state of complete dissolution with everything), and when there is no longer any perception of duality or recognition of existence as the mind (ego).

This means, in other words, that no matter how far the mind (ego) goes, it will never find the truth beyond the parallel perception of the dual world.

Though it is the mind (ego) that perceives the dual world, and within that dual world, the mind (ego) accumulates achievements, knowledge, and other strongholds that give it a sense of security and safety, but it is necessary to enter the mindless state (egoless) for grasping the non-dual world which is far beyond the world the mind (ego) sees and cannot even be imagined, which is also synonymous with entering the bottomless pit of “fear,” and by that fear, it becomes impossible for the mind (ego) to transcend the dual world.

In short, in order to grasp the truth, we must cease thinking altogether. We must give up even the effort to stop thinking, and surrender all expectations, predictions, and any other means of gaining security (categorization, desire for approval, or etc.).

First and foremost, we need to realize that it is our ego which is never essence that wants to be “understood (by others),” “accepted,” and “secure” inside us. And if realizes it, then accepts it as it is. For this unconditional acceptance, the mind (ego, the being observed) and awareness as the observer must be detached. Once this unconditional acceptance is made, its partial mind (ego) is sublimated and integrated (the observer and the observed become one), and the same unconscious reaction which is related with that part of mind (ego) ceases.

When the reaction still occurs, then it means that the acceptance might be conditional, or that the detachment between awareness (the observer) and mind (the ego, the observed) might be not sufficient, or that there might be still other pain (wound) in the mind (ego) related to the reaction, and those mean that it is especially important part for deepening spiritual awakening which essence has set to try for mastery in this lifetime, so to speak.

Thus, be patient and continue to accept it as it is unconditionally each time you find such the reaction.

Through this unconditional acceptance, the ego is sublimated and integrated (toward egolessness = observer and observed become one), and by becoming more in sync with the rhythm of the universe that occurs then spontaneously (synchronization = dance with the universe), everything else also happens as it must happen simply, just as usual.

࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓

Surrender desire for awakening spiritually, let go of that ego. Instead, inquiry within yourself to uncover why you are seeking spiritual awakening. And change the reality (e.g., “seeking = not getting”) that is always embodied as inevitable into inherent unconditional way, in other words, surrender the ego that wants to change anything, and entrust anything to happen as inevitable to the unknown that transcends far the mind.

Your spiritual awakening will deepen where you are, always. (OM 🙏)
