Surrender

 

You write to say that simply you want to surrender, but according to the preface of T.L.C. you'll find that surrender means


(1) To Act favorably to develop Krishna Consciousness;

(2) To reject everything unfavorable;

(3) To have full faith in Krishna that He will give protection to His pure devotee;

(4) To keep oneself as one of the dependent devotees of the Lord;

(5) To have no separate interest besides the interest of the Lord;

(6) To always feel meek and humble.

These six things are surrender, And it is then that there is no question of weakness. Our spiritual strength lies in steadfastly following the regulative principles also, and once stopped, then immediately there is fall down and all that has been accomplished becomes choked up. So to keep ourselves fit in spiritual life, we must strictly follow the principles, and chant at least 16 attentive rounds of beads daily and without fail. Otherwise, everything else loses its potency. At first there may be some inconveniences, and they may appear like poison, but we must tolerate them and Krishna, seeing our sincerity, will surely help us. This material world is such a miserable place that if we were not tolerant, we couldn't stay here for a moment. So simply continue this process diligently and my full blessings are there.
