I accept you as you are : no condemnation, no evaluation, no judment

SO IF YOU ARE READY, don't ask, "How is surrender?" SURRENDER!

Once it happened, Jesus was staying with his friends in a house, and the friends asked, "TELL US HOW TO PRAY." And Jesus said, "But how to say how to pray? I WILL PRAY, AND IF YOU ARE READY YOU CAN PARTICIPATE."

And Jesus started praying. Now the others were standing there and they couldn't see what to do. HE STARTED MOVING INTO SOME UNKNOWN REALM. They watched and he prayed; and when he came back from the world of his prayer, they asked again, "But tell us how to pray." And he said, "I SHOWED you how to pray, and you ask how to pray?"

Remember, maybe the question arises out of your COWARDLINESS. Maybe you want everything to be certain about what it is, whether it is worth or not.

I AM HERE SURRENDERED. I am here IN PRAYER. I am here IN GOD. You come closer to me.

AND I HAVE MADE IT EASY AS IT HAS NEVER BEEN EASY, because I am not making any conditions on you. I accept you as you are. It has never been done before. I ACCEPT YOU AS YOU ARE. I have NO CONDEMNATION, NO
EVALUATION, NO JUDGMENT. If you are a drunkard, good. If you are a gambler, good, exactly right. Because this is a sort of gamble and this is a way of becoming drunk. Whatsoever you are, you are accepted. Come closer.

Sannyas will be a visible thing for you to do, and the next thing, leave it to me. I will do it. YOU DO ONE THING; I WILL DO THE OTHER. There is a saying in Arabian countries, "If you walk one foot towards God, he walks one-thousand-one feet towards you." You walk towards me one foot; I will walk one-thousand-one feet towards you. You do the first; the second I will do.

But you come and ask, "But sannyas... just by changing the clothes... it is too outward. Tell us something inward." YOU ARE NOT EVEN READY TO DO THE OUTWARD AND YOU ASK FOR THE INWARD. And you are an outwardly man. That's why I am talking about the outward sannyas -- that's where you are. That's from where the journey has to start. You are yet outside yourself; from there the journey has to start. Inward can happen only later on, not right now.
