How to surrender to God?
Synthesized from Source
practice
"Surrender is not an act of the doer; it is the natural unfolding that occurs when the ego dissolves into silence, revealing the joyous totality of existence."
According to Osho, surrender cannot be done; the doer is the very thing to be surrendered. It happens when thought slows, silence arises, and the ego dissolves. Don’t aim to surrender to a conceptual ‘God’; that’s borrowed belief. In egoless silence, godliness—an ungraspable, joyous totality—is revealed. When you are not, surrender is, and unity with the whole is naturally known.
Stop trying to give yourself to an idea of God; get truly quiet so the “I” fades, and then surrender and living godliness appear on their own.
