SURRENDER AND RESPONSIBILITY

Setting up a time-bound goal gives direction to the life force. Imagination is essential for this. Most people have a small imagination and are stuck with that, and that causes frustration. But if you are a devotee, you say "Let Thy Will be done" and then you will step lightly to the goal. You will take it easy. We have to make a distinction. Some people say "Let God do everything and surrender" and others say "I have to be responsible."
Surrender is saying "Let Thy Will be done" and "Thy Will" for you is to take responsibility for the whole world.
It appears to be opposing and conflicting in nature -- in fact they are two sides of the same coin. The more you surrender, the more responsive you become. One who is irresponsible cannot surrender either. Why is someone irresponsible? They are lazy or fearful or both. If you are lazy or fearful, you cannot be in love.
Total responsibility is total surrender. It's a little hard to chew, but this is the truth. People usually say either I take responsibility or surrender, but I tell you they go hand in hand. Suppose you are surrendered to the Knowledge. That means you are committed to sharing it with others. You take responsibility to see that it flourishes.
Question: The confusion comes with the doership?
Answer: When you are taking responsibility and you find blocks, remember "surrender." That gives you strength to move ahead. It releases you from the weight of the doership. Responsibility is the dynamic expression of life in the present moment. When you are shaken, remember the basis of responsibility as surrender.
Taking responsibility or surrendering without doership is the skill of the wise. Total irresponsibility is impossible for you. Limited responsibility makes you weak. A little water in the sun will evaporate but the ocean never dries up. Limited responsibility tires you out. Unlimited responsibility empowers you and brings you joy.

समर्पण और उत्तरदायित्व

किसी भी लक्ष्य-प्राप्ति के लिए जब हम समय की सीमा निर्धारित कर लेते है , तब जीवन-शक्ति को एक दिशा मिल जाती है।
कुछ व्यक्ति कहते है, सब ईश्वर हो करेंगे , तुम समर्पण कर दो। और कुछ कहते है, यह मेरी जिम्मेदारी है। यदि आप भक्त है तो आप कहते है, जो प्रभु की इक्छा और तब प्रायः आप अपने लक्ष्य तक धीरे धीरे बढ़ते है।
हमें इस अंतर को समझना है। समर्पण में हम कहते है, जो प्रभु इक्छा , वही हो और हमारे लिए प्रभु की इक्छा है की हम समस्त संसार का दायित्व लें ।
स्वाभाव से ये एक दूसरे के विपरीत और विरोधी प्रतीत होते है परन्तु वास्तव में समर्पण व जिम्मेदारी एक ही सिक्के के दो पहलु है। तुम जितना अधिक समर्पित होते हो , उतने ही अधिक जिम्मेदार होते हो।
जो गैर-जिम्मेदार है, वे समर्पण भी नहीं कर सकते। कोई गैर-जिम्मेदार क्यों है? वे आलसी है या भयभीत या दोनों ही। यदि तुम आलसी या भयभीत हो तो तुम प्रेम में समर्पित नहीं हो सकते।
पूर्ण उत्तरदायित्व ही पूर्ण समर्पण है। इसे स्वीकार करना थोड़ा कठिन है परन्तु यही वास्तविकता है।
अच्छा, मान लो तुम ज्ञान के प्रति समर्पित हो। इसका अर्थ है कि तुम इस ज्ञान को फैलाने के लिए कर्त्तव्य-बध्य हो। तुम दायित्व लेते हो कि इस ज्ञान की वृद्धि हो।
जिम्मेदारी है वर्तमान शान में जीवन की उत्साहपूर्ण अभिव्यक्ति।
जब तुम दायित्व लेते हो और बाधाए आती है, समर्पण को याद रखो।
जब कभी तुम विचलित हो जाओ , याद रखो कि जिम्मेदारी का आधार ही समर्पण है। यह तुम्हें आगे बढ़ने की शक्ति देता है, कर्तापन के भार से तुम्हें मुक्त करता है। कर्ताभाव के बिना दायित्व लेना और समर्पित होना , ज्ञानी की कुशलता है
बिलकुल गैर-जिम्मेदार तुम्हारे लिए असंभव है ।
सिमित जिम्मेदारी तुम्हें कमजोर बनती है। असीमित दायित्व तुम्हें सशक्त करता है, तुम्हें आनंदित कर देता है।
