  1. SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLE: To leave everything to God's will; total faith and dependence on God. QUOTE: “God is all-powerful; God is everywhere; God is all-knowing. Adore Him so long as you have breath, so long as you are conscious. Have no other thought than God, no other aim than knowing His command, no other activity than translating His command into action. That is what is meant by surrender” – SSS 7:79, 493; Prashanthi Nilayam, 2-23-71 PeaceSurrender

  2. PRAYER from Sarum Primer: God, be in my head and in my understanding; God, be in my eyes and in my looking; God, be in my mouth and in my speaking; God, be in my heart and in my thinking; God, be at my end and at my departing. PeaceSurrender

  6. PeaceSurrender Story: The Plan of the Lord There was a sincere and devoted sweeper in a well-known temple. Every time he saw thousands of devotees coming to see the Lord, he thought that the Lord is standing all the time and giving darshan; He must be feeling very tired. So one day, very innocently, he asked the Lord whether he could take the place of the Lord for a day so that He can have some relief and rest. The deity replied, "I do not mind taking a break. I will transform you like Myself, but you must do one thing. You must just stand here like Me, smile at everyone and only give benedictions. Do not interfere with anything or say anything. Just have faith that I have a master plan for every situation." The sweeper agreed to this. The next day, the man took the position of the deity and a rich man came and prayed to the Lord. He offered a substantial donation and prayed that his business should prosper. While leaving, by mistake, he left his wallet full of money right there. Now, the sweeper in the form of the deity could not call him. So, he decided to control himself and keep quiet. Just then, a poor man came and he put one coin in the hundi (donation box) and said that was all he could afford. He prayed to the Lord to bless him to continue to be engaged in the Lord's service.

  10. PeaceSurrender God has plans and justice for everyone.... We just have to be patient! The Lord always does the best for every one of us. Most often, in our limited vision, we do not understand this. Bhagawan once said, “The Master and Sovereign of all the Worlds, past, present and future, has more compassion than all men. He showers grace, weighing the three tenses of time, the three tiers of space, and the three traits of character. He knows best, more than any man; so, the only recourse for man is to believe that everything is His Will and be at peace, and immerse himself in the contemplation of His glory and grace.”
