Ganesha’s style of surrender

May 19, 1985

The nature which we see around is the blessing of the Ganesha only because He is the one who prays to the Mother Earth that she should grant her blessings upon human beings.

It is He who moves all the elements of the nature and moves them to create life. As you call them, these are all carbohydrates. Now the carbohydrates have got carbon and hydrogen. Carbon is coming from Shri Ganesh and hydrogen is coming from Mahakali. And that is how this universe is created in this beautiful way all around us.

Now, these carbohydrates need oxygen which is given to us by the Sun, by the right side. Thus, you know that in the night, these trees emit hydrogen and in the daytime, they generate oxygen. This is all the trick of Shri Ganesha who is sitting in between. Now, it is He who becomes the Sun. He ascends from the deep down seat below the Kundalini. He rises on the left-hand side of Mahakali, goes up and settles in the Surya, that is the Agnya. So Mahakali, which is the Primordial Energy is absolutely transcended by Him. As the child of Mahakali, He’s absolutely dedicated and devoted to her. And that is how He is the master of Mahakali power, lord of. That means He is the lord of the subconscious mind. He is the lord of all the “jadas” (inanimateness).

So, He can transcend this great power and become the lord of that power by one very small little wisdom He has. Now, that small little wisdom is surrender. And the surrender is to be understood in its proper sense. Surrender is, signifies, “no giving up anything,” because whenever you try to give up or take up, you are using your ego. But surrendering means giving up the ego itself. So all the ideas of giving up something or taking in something disappear.
