THEY TAKE MILK BUT ALSO EAT PICKLES AFTER THAT
Master says that Krodha and Kama cannot be totally eradicated.
Obstacles, in the context of spiritual growth, are a person's intellectual, emotional, or physical veils or Kosas that keep him away from evolving to a higher state of consciousness. Our purpose is to try and see ourselves as we are and remove the obstacles that keep us locked in self-centredness. We need to understand that Prapanna gati is an improvement over the Para Brahmand where we are still serving the individual self as an infinite self in glory and happiness. That needs to be sacrificed at the feet of the Lord so that we get dedicated in the real service of the Divine. Resignation is not the word here. It is dedication to the service of the Divine and realising that it is something only He can fulfil, we relegate our capacities totally and leave ourselves at His disposal.
Real surrender or Prapanna demands that we surrender to all existence even as Master stated. Oneness perceived should lead to serving the many perceived as one. Real Surrender is surrender to all 202
