- "…After we sacrifice for awhile and try to create the Communities Of Light, we may not succeed. We may have put much effort and nothing happens. We are not seeing any result. We will become frustrated and/or depressed. Or we may succeed and start feeling that we are great that we have done such a good job. That may make us become elated with a big ego. This step is to overcome these two pitfalls (either becoming depressed or egotistical).
The reason for either of these happenings is that we are attached to the result of our actions. So when the result is not as we expected, we become depressed, discouraged and unhappy. If the result is good, we become egotistical, which is the very reason man is separate from God. So we Lose the Grace. If we, however, surrender the result to God, then in either way we will not be affected with the result. So surrendering means we do try to do His Will, Follow the Eternal Divine Path, but we leave the Result to God.
Greater than Surrendering is Submission to God. Submission means we let God do the work through us. We are an instrument for His Divine Actions. In Surrendering there is still an ego which is Surrendering the Result to God. In Submission The Doer is He. There is no "I" involved — no I, no ego. He is the Doer and so the Result is His as well…" http://www.maitreya.org/#Fourth
