Arpana - Surrendering to the Divine




In complete surrender
lies the key to yonder
To merge with Existence
with the Master, in His presence.

Ah, how beautiful to offer oneself
mind, body, spirit, complete self
To the Only One, to Nithyananda
what remains after, is only Nithyananda!

Arpana means offering
but what is ours to offer after all?
Shedding our EGO, shedding our 'karmas'
which make us think everything is ours!

How fortunate are we to be on this journey!
where nothing is ours, yet everything is ours
What can be more blissful than sitting at His feet,
Drinking His grace nectar sweet?

Three cheers to Nithyananda!
to Existence, to Shiva!
Embrace us, desert us not,
Take us with you, away from what we are not.

Nithyanandam, Fantastic lines. But how to surrender?

Trying to surrender kills me. Could you help me please?
