Surrender

SURRENDER

Where should we seek knowledge? In the abandonment of knowledge. Where should we seek peace? In abandoning peace. Where should we seek existence? In the abandonment of existence. Where should we seek apples? In abandoning our hands. 

(The Sufi Path of Love: The Spiritual Teachings of Rumi)

If you persist in trying to attain what is never attained (It is Tao's gift), 

if you persist in making effort to obtain what effort cannot get, 

if you persist in reasoning about what cannot be understood, 

you will be destroyed by the very thing you seek. 

(Chuang Tzu)

God has put you in the world. What can you do about it? Resign everything to Him. Surrender yourself at His feet…

(Ramakrishna)
