My Friends,

All technique is against the Universe. If you can leave everything to the Universe, then no technique is needed, because that is the ultimate technique. If you can leave everything to Universe, that is the deepest surrender possible. You are surrendering yourself, your future, your possibilities. You are surrendering time itself and all effort.

Once you surrender everything to the Universe, there is no effort; you just float. You are in a deep let-go. Things happen to you, but you are not making effort for them-- you are not even seeking them. If they happen, it is okay, if they don't happen, it is okay-- you have no choice. Whatsoever happens, happens. You have no expectations and, of course, no frustrations.

Life flows by, and you flow in it. You have no goal to reach, because with a goal, effort enters. You have nowhere to go, because if you have somewhere to go, effort will come in. You have nowhere to go, nowhere to reach, no goal, no ideal, nothing to be achieved-- you surrender all. In this surrendering moment, in this very moment, all will happen to you.

Effort will take time, but surrender will not take time. Technique will take time, but surrender will not take time. That's why I call surrender the ultimate technique. It is a non-technique. You cannot practice surrender. If you practice, it is not surrender. Then you are relying on yourself. Then you are not totally helpless. Then you are trying to do something-- even if it is surrender, you are TRYING to do it. Then technique will come in, and with technique time enters, and the future enters. But surrender is beyond time. If you surrender, this very moment you are out of time, and all that can happen will happen. But then you are not searching for it, not seeking it; you are not greedy for it. You have no mind for it at all. Whether it happens or not, it all is the same to you.

When one lives in harmony with the universe, then no technique is needed. Like when someone is healthy, no medicine is needed. You have gathered around yourself such a complex mind that whatsoever is said and given to you, you will complicate it. You will make it more complex, and more difficult. If I say to you, "Surrender," you will ask "How?" If I say "No technique is needed, simply surrender and you will be awakened and will find true peace," you will immediately ask, "How?"

If I say, "True peace is in the here and now. You need not practice anything, you simply take a jump and surrender," you will say, "How? How can I surrender?" If I give you a technique to answer you, your mind will say, "But is not a method or technique, against harmony with the Universe? If surrender is without a technique, then this technique is futile and useless. Why waste time with this technique?" Look at this mind!

Even a simply thing you will make complicated and difficult for yourself. This is a defense measure. And you can go on in this vicious cycle continuously, even for the rest of your life, if you do not break it somewhere and come out of it. The only way to break this cycle is to surrender. Just surrender.

Love,
