James123 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Why surrendering is so difficult for you? Worldly Achievement, attachment, expectations and satisfactions. Whatever you attach start to let go of them. Then be completely free. Quote Mention "It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orb Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 It starts off as a fundamental sense of resistance, then an identity is created as a distraction from the fundamental resistance. Then this identity adopts beliefs and ways of perceiving "the world". Suffering is like an onion, it's layers of aversion from Feeling into thought. Quote Mention "Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists. Since I linger in neither condition, eyes cannot see me. If hundreds of birds strew my path with flowers, such praise would be meaningless." - A Comment on the 8th Ox Herding Picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever you attach start to let go of them. Then be completely free. You don’t have to let go or surrender anything. Just meet yourself where you are. If tears,despair,depression or heartbreak comes to visit…LET THEM If joy, estacy, happiness, laughter comes to visit…LET THEM Its all you. Let life break you, or make you, and just feel how that feels. It’s not like you can free yourself of yourself… you can’t do that.

Mandy Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 It usually doesn't occur that we must appreciate the thing we no longer want and then focus on the thing we do want in order to truly let go. The old is never excluded, killed, cut off, you could say that it only is liberated to become the new. "Throw thy bread upon the water."

Wanting what you don't believe you have or can have is suffering, assigning future happiness to want is suffering, but pure wanting is the same as creating or appreciating feels pretty damn good.
