Is your life from you or from God?



During my life a friend of mine (via her guru Babaji, a Kriya Yogi) learned me to entrust. That is to say, I am saying to God: "God, I've done this and that. I acknowledge that everything belongs to You. And I let go everything, whatever I am trying, whatever how it's running, whatever it works out, whatever succesfull or not. I’ll give it back to life, I give it back to You, in short, I entrust it to You. You’ll better know how everything works and how to proceed and what everything means, you’ll better know than me.
Why is it it important to entrust it all, all the time?

All the time entrusting everything makes the personality acknowledg you have got everything. You haven’t done anything, but it all has done to you. You do not act, but are being acted. It is living in truth. The ego demands everything so easily and fast, and is thinking he/she is the center of the universe and is considering oneself an autonomous and independent being, and having everything in control.

We think this is always touching, were it is actually ridiculous. Man proclaming from the house-tops that he/she has nothing to do with someone else, figuring it out for oneself, believing nothing, wanting to be left alone, staying independent.
In
the spiritual world one is having fun then, with some head-shaking: if hundreds of spiritual beings are maintaining a personality on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level and helping and caring and repairing everything possible and at the same this personality is claiming loudly ”there is no God, and man is all alone in the universe”. Funny and ridiculous.

The personality easily thinks oneself to be really something, is putting oneself on the inner throne, and on deeper level is only relying on own talents and will and capacities. Unprecedented pride and hidden uncertainty accompany the self-conceit of the ego. This is a source of confusion and unhappiness, in the long run.
The Buddha has rightly said on the ego:
"your cruel master does not exist".


By asking beforehand for the blessing of an activity and the subsequent entrusting, you enlarge the chance your personality is realizing God is doing everything in you, God is making everything possible in you and herewith you will realize our true relation.
God is becoming more Man in you, you are becoming stronger by staying in God.

This attitude of entrusting is making you increasingly recognize and feel that God is the Creator, the Doer, and you the creature, the instrument of God acting on earth. If you want, you can become a perfect and transparent instrument, a real persona (mask), and behind this mask God is in charge. What you call a real personality is in fact evidence of a large degree of impersonality.
In this manner you are taking a turn for the better, heading to the direction of God.
That is your destination.


The Mother Mary was knowing this already in Her early years. She accepted this method of entrusting to God as her one and only true lifestyle, that’s why she progressed harder than most people.
Saul changed into Paul on his way to Damascus, Christ "helped" him here on the path of surrender, the path of true life, the realization and fulfillment of the First Commandment: I am thy God and thou shalt have no other gods.
Learn to entrust, again and again, and everything in your life will flow.


My blessings to you all
