Q:I am not able to surrender.i have a small hitch always left, even if i try to surrender ?

Sri Sri: don't surrender..it is an illusion.. this is like trying to catch a black cat in a dark room which is not even there. just relax. God is not asking you to surrender. What you have anyway to surrender, just know that you are nothing, then it is easy to surrender, people with heart full of feelings emotions for them it is easy to surrender, but those with using the mind, you never try to surrender, just know you are nothing, just wake up and see in context of the whole earth , you are nothing.. every cell and every planet has been here for billions of years..today you give your self a name a form, tomorrow your form will disappear, if you are a combination of atoms etc , still you are nobody, like you thousands are made of the same substance, you are a nobody, you are just a drop of this ocean,wake up and know what you are, that is good enough and who are you anyway, a big zero�a nobody, and if someone around you is a number, you be on the right side of that number acknowledging that number..that is as good as surrender. tell your self..i am nobody, i want nothing.. these two are an antidote enough to the small mind, which bothers you every now and then. wake up and know that you are nothing.

Q: Guruji in certain temples chanting is done just for the heck of it. Its not done from the heart. In such a case will it have good effect on impact?

Sri Sri: No. it may not have as good impact. If chanting is done with the meaning and as well as the bhava(feelings), then there will be a very good impact. Like during Navratri. How many have you have felt the energy during the Navratri puja? Because all the priests who chants knows what they are chanting.

Q: Guruji what is action and what is inaction? How do we understand and differentiate?

Sri SriSri Sri: The wise is one who sees action in inaction and inaction in action. When you observe your heart beat, your breathing what�s happening in your head etc. You see that you are not doing anything! Everything is happening!! That is action in inaction. Ask any convict, what did you do? They will never say, I have done. Some thing inside them made it happen for them. They will say, I have not done anything. Similarly ask any successful man, how did you do? He will say, I have not done anything. When you sit and observe, your heart is beating, you are breathing� then something inside you settles down. As something settles inside you start relaxing deep. When you relax deep than that gives rise to the intelligence. When your intelligence sharpens then you become dynamic, as you become dynamic, skills comes to you. This all happens when you are not in a hurry. When you are in a hurry you cannot come out with anything beautiful, anything creative. When you do a big project, after completion you often feel you have not done it. How many of you felt that you have not done it, it just happened? Raise your hands. So that is seeing inaction in action.
