AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Sir, please explain the difference between “Samarpan(Surrender)” and “Self Giving”. 🫴🏼😊🙏🏻🌸

In Samarpan or surrender, there is still an “I” that gives. It is a giving of all that ‘one’ thinks and feels and wills and acts and has. In self-giving, the ‘I’ itself is given along with all the rest. The I that one called oneself and which gave to the Divine is itself gone. One no longer gives each act since one belongs completely to the Divine. The instrumental personality is itself given to the Divine for whatever He wills it to be and does through it. Self-giving is the final and grand culmination of the act of surrender, the last offering of oneself into the fire of sacrifice.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Could you explain whether this intense purification applies to all devotees or only under specific conditions, and how one is expected to sustain sadhana amid such severe external hardship? 💰🪷🙏🏻 […]

In all mystic traditions, money has been generally regarded, not only as a bondage, but even as a curse. It ties the consciousness to very gross material pleasures. These weigh down the soul and makes the intelligence rather dull to subtler and spiritual things.
