Ask Alok da

How do we reach the stage of knowing what should be done and what should not be done🙃? 

If you surrender, you have to surrender your individual will to the Divine, not just say, “I will not will.” When we say that everything I do is Divine, it means we’re not asserting our will as we have handed it over to various forces, but it’s a conscious and willing surrender—saying, “I will surrender my will to the Divine.” You want to do what the Divine wants, which is very different from doing anything and everything I want.

affectionately,

Alok Da
