GET OUT OF THE WAY AND LET

Dear God, For this day I turn myself over to You....

Do not for a minute believe that in turning ourselves over to God we are turning ourselves outward to Him. We are not giving ourselves over for Him to purify and return to us all fixed...akin to the old-time Chinese laundry where dirty linens were taken to be washed, fluffed, ironed and returned all pretty, ready to be dirtied again.

No. "I turn myself over to You" within me.

"I stand at the door and knock" is God within us, knocking to be let out...to flow forth from us. Our job is to get quiet and listen for directions on how to open that door...or, in truth, how to get out of the way and let the door be opened for us.

It is enough that one surrenders oneself. Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being. Do not delude yourself by imagining such a source to  be some God outside you. One's source is within oneself. Give yourself up to it. That means that you should seek the source and merge in it.  -- Ramana Maharshi

Thank You.
