Changes

The effort demanded of the sadhak is that of aspiration, rejection and surrender. If these three are done the rest is to come of itself by the Grace of the Mother and the working of her force in you. But of the three the most important is surrender of which the first necessary form is trust and confidence and patience in difficulty. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/32/aspiration-rejection-surrender#p14</ref>  

This new greater measure of quality and quantity is different from anything you could attain before: you enter into another world, into a wideness which you could not have entered if you did not surrender.It is as when a drop of water falls into the sea; if it still kept its separate identity, it would remain a little drop of water and nothing more, a little drop crushed by all the immensity around, because it has not surrendered. But, surrendering, it unites with the sea and participates in the nature and power and vastness of the whole sea.

The core of the inner surrender must necessarily be progressiveis trust and confidence in the Divine. No one can make One takes the complete surrender from attitude: "I want the beginningDivine and nothing else. I want to give myself entirely to him and since my soul wants that, so it is quite natural cannot be but that I shall meet and realise him. I ask nothing but that when one looks into oneselfand his action in me to bring me to him, his action secret or open, veiled or manifest. I do not insist on my own time and way; let him do all in his own time and way; I shall believe in him, accept his will, aspire steadily for his light and presence and joy, go through all difficulties and delays, relying on him and never giving up. Let my mind be quiet and trust him and let him open it to his light; let my vital be quiet and turn to him alone and let him open it to his calm and joy. All for him and myself for him. Whatever happens, one should find its absenceI will keep to this aspiration and self-giving and go on in perfect reliance that it will be done." <ref>https://incarnateword.

Put yourself with all your heart and all your strength into God's hands. Make no reason why conditions, ask for nothing, not even for siddhi in the principle yoga, for nothing at all except that in you and through you his will may be directly performed. To those who demand from him, God gives what they demand, but to those who give themselves and demand nothing, he gives everything that they might otherwise have asked or needed and in addition he gives himself and the spontaneous boons of his love. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/sabcl/16/the-yoga-and-its-objects#p5</ref>==Helpful Means=====Psychic Opening===All the parts are essentially offered, but the surrender should not has to be accepted made complete by the growth of the psychic self-offering in all of them and carried out steadily from stage in all their movements separately and together. To be enjoyed by the Divine is to stagebe entirely surrendered so that one feels the Divine Presence, Power, Light, from field Ananda possessing the whole being rather than oneself possessing these things for one's own satisfaction. It is a much greater ecstasy to field, applying it successively be thus surrendered and possessed by the Divine than oneself to all be the possessor. At the parts same time by this surrender there comes also a calm and happy mastery of the self and nature.<ref>httphttps://incarnateword.in/cwsa/3229/surrender#p50,p51</ref>===Baby Cat Approach=== ...if one wanted the Divine, the Divine himself would take up the purifying of the heart and develop the sadhana and give the necessary experiences. I meant to say that it can and does happen in that way if one has trust and confidence in the Divine and the will to surrender. For such a taking up involves one's putting oneself in the hands of the Divine rather than trusting to one's own efforts alone and it implies one's putting one's trust and confidence in the Divine and a progressive self-giving... It is, I suppose, what Ramakrishna meant by the method of the baby cat in his image. But all cannot follow that at once; it takes time for them to-arrive at it—it grows most when the-mothermind and vital fall quiet. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/surrender#p4p17</ref>

The surrender comes in when you take the attitude that says, "I give my will ==Roadblocks to the Divine. I intensely want to become conscious of my nights, I have not the knowledge, let the Divine Will work it out for me." Your will must continue to act steadily, not in the way of choosing a particular action or demanding a particular object, but as an ardent aspiration concentrated upon the end to be achieved. This is the first step. If you are vigilant, if your attention is alert, you will certainly receive something in the form of an inspiration of what is to be done and that you must forthwith proceed to do.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/21-april-1929#p24</ref>Surrender==

The surrender must be total and seize all the parts of the being. It is not enough that the psychic should respond and the higher mental accept or even the inner vital submit and the inner physical consciousness feel the influence. There must be in no If part of the beingsurrenders, even the most externalbut another part reserves itself, anything that follows its own way or makes a reserveits own conditions, anything then each time that hides behind doubtsthat happens, confusions and subterfuges, anything that revolts or refusesyou are yourself pushing the divine Grace away from you.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/32/the-mother-i#p4p5</ref>
