CHAPTER 6
Living in Surrender
and Acceptance
If man wants to live in peace, joy and bliss, then he must surrender to and accept the power of the 4th Factor. We are intelligent and we know that we cannot escape from action. Every human being has to act. However, if we are caught in a vicious cycle where we act and desire a result but get disappointed and become miserable, we would cease to live with peace and happiness.
What is this vicious cycle? Because we are alive, we do something. Our actions are based on the desires of the body and mind. Our body and mind are dominated by our ego, which is naturally arrogant and proud of itself. Man gives too much importance to ‘I’ness and the ‘my’ness created by the ego. This is a major cause of our misery. We have certain expectations, we crave and desire. We succeed and achieve, but still we don’t stop. We want more and more. Our greed becomes our need and we aim for the sky. Naturally, we fail as man cannot succeed all the time.
