Man's victory lies in his surrender to God.

Sri Amma Bhagavan:

We can expound this teaching at different levels. We will see one perspective only right now.

     God's will is the Divine Will. What we see is the Divine Will. All things are happening automatically. Sun is rising in the east, seasons are coming, earth is revolving round the sun, you are waking up in the morning, you are getting hunger, thinking is happening etc. Therefore, what is happening is the Divine Will.
     God has gifted man with the Free Will. Which means, man has the power to think whatever he wants, speak whatever he wants and can do whatever he wants to do. That is how one can design one's life. Throw flowers, flowers will fall on you; throw stones, stones will fall on you. Thus you are the creator of your own destiny. But, you are full of hurts, ego, jealousy, anger, hatred, traumas etc. hence your thoughts, words and actions result in such decisions leading to a particular kind of life.
     On the other hand, you surrender to the Divine Will. The Divine shall take over. In which case you are not there. Meaning only the Divine exists. The Divine can never fail. Cleansing or non-cleansing is a part of the process which one is least bothered because the problem is no more his/hers. It is the Lord's problem. If you are still worried, it means, you have not surrendered yet.
     Remember, surrender is not leaving it or indifference. Surrender is becoming helpless when you truly feel and realize that you can't do, or you do not know etc. and then seek and depend on the Divine.
     However, true surrender happens when one is Awakened.  But here we are talking at a mundane level.
     Let us now recollect one of the Great Mahavakyas given by Sri Amma Bhagavan, "When your will and My Will have become one, then My Kingdom would have come".

" In relationships, friendship arises only when there is unconditional love. "

Sri Amma Bhagavan "Sri Amma Bhagavan define "Friendship" as freedom in relationship. In friendship, there is no judgement, fear, planning, insecurity etc. What exists is freedom. There is unconditional love. It is not attachment, possessiveness etc. There are no rules or conditions. There is no suffering of loss. But it is just there. It is causeless and there is joy. Only when one experiences unconditional love, one experiences that freedom which is 'friendship' which Sri Amma Bhagavan are talking about. This unconditional Love cannot be practised. It is a benediction from The Divine. The only way one can experience unconditional Love is by realising that it is not there and seek for it from The Lord. People experience unconditional Love in the Oneness Processes which heals relationships."

Vision of Oneness

Dear Bhagavan, we have heard you say that vision of Oneness is to set humanity free. Could You elucidate on this? Sri Bhagavan: "Nature has thrown up a tremendous variety of species. The physical component provided by nature could be considered the hardware. If evolution of life were compared to a day then humanity suppose to have emerged in the last few moments. This tremendously advanced spieces of human kind has created a software, based on the hardware provided by nature. This software consists of beliefs, perceptions, religions, myths, cultures and any number of stories on which it runs. The sum total of this psychological content could be termed the software that is running the spieces. A significant section of this software is limiting in nature and is detrimental to the experience of living. One of the most defective softwares that has become part of the human system is the illusory identity of the thinker or self. The vision of Oneness is to set humanity totally and ...

How to cultivate love and compassion ?

Sri Bhagavan: "Oneness is all about stay with the truth. The truth is you don't have connection with the divine. The truth is you are not compassionate. The truth is you are not loving. What Oneness says is look at the fact and stay with the fact and do not do anything. It's the do-nothing teaching.  Now for example oneness does not believe in cultivating virtue. That is you do not have love in you but you practice love. You do not have kindness but you practice kindness you do not have truthfulness but you practice truth. Now with cultivating it is not true at all. Either you are loving or you are not loving.  Oneness talk about real truthfulness, natural truthfulness, natural compassion, natural love, natural kindness, whatever you want.  How do you get it? By simply looking at the fact that is not there.  That is the truth. Truth has its own power."
