How to practice total surrender to the master?
Synthesized from Source
practice
"Total surrender means to follow the master absolutely, without judgment or selection; in this undivided unity lies the path to true liberation."
According to Osho, total surrender means deciding to remain an undivided unity: either follow the master absolutely or not at all. If you surrender, follow blindly—drop judging, selecting, and thinking for yourself, because the master’s guidance is an organic whole. Picking and choosing is self-following and breeds chaos and deception. If you cannot surrender, then wholly follow yourself; both ways work, but totality is essential.
Either hand over the wheel to the master completely and stop steering, or drive entirely by yourself—don’t sit with two drivers.
Why this matters practically
- Ends inner conflict and preserves energy by keeping you integrated.
- Prevents self-deception and confusion from half-hearted, pick-and-choose following.
- Allows faster growth with unified guidance, or honest self-reliance if you can’t surrender.
