When your mind becomes
aware that the Spirit is everywhere, then the mind surrenders. The mind learns
that although it thought it knew all things, Spirit is everywhere and the mind
is nothing. Mind learns that all the power it has is due only to the Spirit,
the Source of life, the Source of Consciousness. Then the mind surrenders. That
is the meaning of true surrender; such self-surrender is the highest of all
yogas. Your mind surrenders when you reach such a height that the mind doesn’t
function any longer. Mind is still there, but as it becomes aware of the
Reality, its ego vanishes. When you fully understand the functions of mind, you
will know how to work with yourself.
