_Question:_ Surrender.

Sri Chinmoy: First think of a tiny drop of water, and then throw that tiny drop into the sea. When you do that, you will not be able to see the drop any longer. You will see the sea itself. When you think of yourself, you do not want to surrender, or you find it difficult to surrender, because you feel that if you do, you will no longer exist. But the actual thing that happens when the drop enters into the sea is that it becomes one with the sea. When you think of yourself, think of yourself as a drop, and when you look at my transcendental picture, think of it as the ocean. This moment you are a tiny drop, the next moment you are the ocean. This moment you are outside, tiny, alone and helpless, and the next moment you are one with the vast ocean.
