Hinduism - Surrender To The Sadguru

Hinduism lays greatest emphasis to surrender to Sadguru. The Sadguru means God in human form. He/she is not like any ordinary learned person but he/she is God in a human body. Many times some Sadgurus speak very less but that does not mean that they know lesser than those who speak volumes. Rather a Sadguru will bring changes in your mind, heart and body that are revolutionary. You can feel the changes that are permanent and can be difficult to describe. A single word spoken by a Sadguru can change your life forever. a simple touch can change your life for ever and sometimes Sadguru brings about changes in you without showing any outward sign. Surrender to Sadguru is most important.

What precisely do I understand by word surrender? I believe that surrender to Sadguru means having no desire left of one's own. Have no ego of one's own. Have no belief that one is knowledgeable or logical. One should leave everything to Sadguru. Let him/her decide what is best and do what he/she orders. Is this possible? In normal circumstances, it is not possible. This is made possible by Sadguru himself/herself. Guru slowly removes all that not needed in us and fills us with total obedience. We reach a state where we only serve God and at that time Guru gives us all that is best for us without any effort from our side. Guru bestows the greatest gifts without us asking or making any effort. This is called the concept of surrender as per my understanding. As I am not a Sadguru myself I can surely not say that what I have written is correct. But this is my understanding on my journey with my Guru. First pray to God that he brings you in contact with his form as Sadguru and then begin the journey towards surrendering yourself.
