the trap of a dream is not a simple trap.It is a very powerful trap, self-cre-ated.Especially because it is self-created, you have no means to break it.For what you have created, there is a certain sense of attachment.
and liking to it.You cannot break it.It takes clarity of perception or it needs outside help.
Taking is not important, taking is ugly, but re-ceiving is very important.
The food that you ate, for it to get into your system, how many people and how many dif f erent lives have partici-pated in making this happen? None of these things you could do all by yourself, isn’t it?
If you understand this, and if you receive this gracefully, you will be overwhelmed with gratitude.If gratitude becomes your very life breath, you will also become very receptive.
With every aspect of your life – a piece of cloth, or a piece of bread, or a morsel of food, what it takes for it to be created and to land on your plate and get in to your body – if you recognize how much is involved to make a single aspect of your life hap-pen, gratitude happens.If you are overwhelmed with gratitude, you are in an extremely good state of receptivity.
this.When you are grateful, you very naturally bow down.Nobody has to “If you are overwhelmed with gratitude, you are in an extremely good state of receptivity.”
Surrender is a certain realization that in your present form you cannot pass the gate.
