Make No Conditions, Ask for Nothing — Sri Aurobindo

The first process of the yoga is to make the saṅkalpa of ātmasamarpaṇa. Put yourself with all your heart and all your strength into God’s hands. Make no conditions, ask for nothing, not even for siddhi in the yoga, for nothing at all except that in you and through you his will may be directly performed. To those who demand from him, God gives what they demand, but to those who give themselves and demand nothing, he gives everything that they might otherwise have asked or needed and in addition he gives himself and the spontaneous boons of his love.

1 Response to Make No Conditions, Ask for Nothing — Sri Aurobindo

  1. justynjedraszewski says:

    First, God reveals Himself in our parents, as we grow with time, He reveals as the world and continuing we find Him everywhere inside us, as well outside of perception as extended as Infinite Spirit. Finally nothing is without Him: activity, Silence, time, space; all is One. Harmony, dynamic conscious participation, liberation – makes all this subjective experiance free from illusory dream because our role in this Unity of One comes from above, like a Sun in the morning ray…🙏
