Surrender

Awakening

There is an urge within, a call, an unknown something finding its way out, something that seeks vastness, something that seeks delight and freedom. To allow it to emerge one has to listen first of all to one’s own inner depths and the silent whispers that emerge. As you follow the thread the call becomes an animating presence that can move you, set you on motion towards the unknown shores to explore and once you know the inner call you are also sure about the result – the certitude of fulfillment. But you need courage to look deep within and follow the call and learn from mistakes. For there are misleading voices, a world of unknown ranges of being peopled with forces and urges that clamor for your acceptance. In this inner space where a multitude is demanding your attention you have to learn to discriminate the One who leads the way from those who drags you off the path. This cannot be done by an intellectual discrimination one needs the psychic discernment and this demands a quiet and silent mind, a vital being trained to follow the call without exciting passions or revolts, a firm and healthy body ever ready to move on no matter what the demand is. An increasing quiet inner dynamism, a silent joy and gladness, a growing gratitude, these are some of the traits of the inner truth that emerges from within. It is no more your effort; actions are done through you by That which is deep within and above.
