Path to Happiness - Surrender - om swami

Your life becomes a lot more unmanageable if you try to control everything yourself. If you want to leave absolutely nothing to the universe and want to think through everything yourself, you will have a difficult time. If you look around, most unhappy people are those who are constantly delving into details of every little thing even if it is not required.

We have the tendency to keep ourselves engrossed for no sane reason so then surrender becomes hard. When you think that I am going to control my tomorrow, my next month or year or my next life, you are putting a great burden on yourself. The best you can do is your karma; live in the moment and leave some things to the Divine. Surrender is thanking the divine for being happy however you are keeping me. Allow me to be grateful that I exist, that I am able to eat, think and walk. I am able to pray and help somebody. I am happy the way I am. Surrender is that you have created me. You are my creator and I don’t have to worry. You will take care of me.

Listen to this discourse by Om Swami on how by surrendering to the divine will lead you to the path of happiness.
