Jonx, if the majority of students misunderstand a major lesson from their teacher, what does that say? The reasonable thing to conclude is that the teacher is lousy. It's one thing to misinterpret something Rawat might have said once in passing, but we are talking here about what was probably his major lesson for a period of five years at least where he talked about it at every program. So is it that all of his students are idiots or that he is a lousy teacher? Don't even bother to answer.But you know what? I think I know damn well what he meant. It isn't exactly rocket science. Surrender means to give up, to subjugate your will to someone else. That is what he told us to do and that is what we did. And why did we do it? Because we trusted him and he made it clear that this was the only option available if we were ever to get anywhere with Knowledge or with being his devotee. Not rocket science Jonx, though I know it is easy to try and pretend that something is too complicated to understand rather than have to accept the consequences of what is staring you smack in the face. When that dose of reality is too strong to take let's make it mean something else, anything else, or at least make it so incomprehensible that we can't even talk about it.
Rawat's words are simple. They always were and they still are. It's the amazing linguistic acrobatics of people like you who do anything to not take it at face value that boggles the mind.
So go to sleep little Jonx, dry those tired eyes, and surrender to sweet dreams of dafodils and prancing ponies and jiggling mala-laden masters doing the hola hoop around the moon.
