As long as we are engrossed in our own needs, in me and mine, we will remain insecure. Cultivating surrender and devotion replaces such self-preoccupation with a sense of our connection that sustains the entire universe. A sense of devotion and surrender opens us to experiences of being nurtured. We also learn that we have the capacity to become instruments of higher consciousness, serving and giving what we can to help others in their own awakening.

~Swami Ajaya
