II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

गुरू सों ज्ञान जु लीजिए, सीस दीजिए दान I
बहुतक भोंदू बहि गये, राखि जीव अभिमान II

"Kabir says, absolute surrender to the Guru is a must to attain his blessings. When the pupil surrenders to the Guru absolutely, the alchemy of Guru begins to work and the life of pupil is changed forever. Surrender requires putting aside one’s ego, it requires strength. One must not try to exercise surrender artificially, for it must come from within. Surrender can only be total, you cannot surrender in part. It is just like a circle, a geometric circle. It cannot be half; you cannot draw a half circle. If you draw it you cannot call it a circle. A circle must be complete. Half, then it is something else, not a circle at all. Surrender can only be total. It is a circle, a spiritual circle. You surrender from end to end. Nothing is left behind. 
The very phenomenon of surrendering is enough. No further help is needed. Everything will be done by surrender itself. Surrendering means you are no more, surrendering means the ego has been dropped.

Surrendering means now the center has been dispersed; you exist but without a center. If there is no center, there is nothing to protect; the walls drop by themselves. If there is no one, your whole structure of defense disappears by and by; it becomes futile. You become an open space.
Surrendered, you become open to the divine forces. 
The problem is surrendering. After surrendering, there is no problem. In surrender the Guru wants you emancipate from the attachment to the outcome. Once you have set yourself free, you no longer suffer from performance pressure. You reach a calm state of mind that is willing to accept failure and success with equanimity. It doesn't take a genius to understand that your performance improves when there is no pressure to win or excel. The Guru wants his pupils to achieve nothing short of greatness. Following the path directed by the Guru, nothing is unachievable for the disciple, because when Guru is around, the universe plays along."
