# 123. வெல்லப் பிள்ளையார்.

சரணாகதியைப் பற்றிய பேச்செல்லாம் வெல்லப் பிள்ளையாரைக் கிள்ளி அவருக்கே நிவேதனம் செய்வது போன்றது. உங்கள் உடல், பொருள், ஆவி, அனைத்தையும் இறைவனுக்கு அர்ப்பணிப்பதாகச் சொல்கிறீர்கள். அவற்றை இறைவனுக்கு அளிக்க அவை எல்லாம் உங்களுடையது தானா என்ன?

God has created the Sun, the Moon, the Stars, the Flowers, the Trees and the Grass, etc (including
human beings and animals). Are they not all absolutely surrendered to God except human beings?
Everyone knows what absolute surrender is. The first step in life is Humility and then Absolute Surrender.
Suppose, somebody gives a chocolate to a child, when that child takes a small bit, he/she acts according
to their tone or instructions. The child starts obeying to them. Similarly, when some one is inspired by God's
deeds or Blessings, he/she starts to recognize HIS supreme power and in the course of time, such people
start trying to make an absolute surrender to HIM. The first and primary step is to surrender ourselves to our
Acharyas, who will show us the path to proceed further.

It is my firm opinion that Europe does not represent the spirit of God or Christianity but the spirit of Satan. And Satan’s successes are the greatest when he appears with the name of God on his lips.

I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the type of which we are conscious in ourselves. An individual who should survive his physical death is also beyond my comprehension, nor do I wish it otherwise; such notions are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls.

# 124. இறைவன் இச்சை.

சரணாகதி பண்ணிக் கொண்ட பிறகு கடவுள் இச்சைப்படி நடக்க வேண்டும். நமக்குப் பிடிக்காதது நடந்தால் குறை கூறக் கூடாது. தோற்றத்தில் அவை ஒரு மாதிரியாக இருந்தாலும் அவை முழுவதுமாக மாறலாம்.

Surrender is generally perceived many as quite difficult because it is equated
in negative sense either terming it as a Loss or Defeat. Baghwan Sri Satya Sai Baba
says : "Give up all bad qualities/deeds, drive away the ego and cultivate a spirit
of surrender" Then only, one will start experiencing the Bliss of God.
We normally notice many people start deliberating and debating on this issue
for many hours even for days and so on but ultimately amongst them rather only
a very few, countable, only switch over to the practice/implementation. With
this, one starts understanding eventually, the termination point of life is not
purely obtaining Knowledge alone but actual implementation and practice of
absolute surrender to the God.

One has a feeling that one has a kind of home in this timeless community of human beings that strive for truth. … I have always believed that Jesus meant by the Kingdom of God the small group scattered all through time of intellectually and ethically valuable people.
