35. Surrender
There was a timeWhen I surrendered out of fear,
But that surrender only made me feel
How useless, hopeless, worthless
I was.
But now I surrender to whom?
To the real in me,
To the Supreme in me,
To the Inner Pilot in me,
To the divine Lover
And
To the divine Beloved in me.
Now my surrender is not imposed.
Now my surrender is my expansion.
Now my surrender is the song
Of self-illumination,
Self-perfection
And
God-satisfaction
In me.
