Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi, T. 208
Bhagavan.:
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 source to be some God outside you.
One’s source is within yourself.
Give yourself up to it.
That means that you should seek the source and merge in it.
Because you imagine yourself to be out of it,
you raise the question “Where is the source?”
Some contend that the sugar cannot taste
its own sweetness
and that a taster must taste and enjoy it.
Similarly,
an individual cannot be the Supreme
and enjoy the Bliss of that state;
therefore the individuality must be maintained
on the one hand
and God-head on the other
so that enjoyment may result!
Is God insentient like sugar?
How can one surrender oneself
and yet retain one’s individuality
for supreme enjoyment?
