Relying on Others - The
Wisdom of Surrender
Most of
us take pride in ourselves on self-sufficiency. One’s ego resists acceptance of
challenging situations fully as it brings up feelings of uselessness & vulnerability.
However, at times when one faces such situations in which one has to rely on
someone else, it is essential that we let go of our feeling that we should be
able to do it all by ourselves. We should accept the help of others. The
experience of needing others & allowing them to help us makes us realize that
we are not on our own in the world and it enables us to be wiser. A deep
feeling of gratitude emerges as we open to the human experience of being
helped. We are only happy when we are full of gratitude.
Acceptance & surrender to own limitations & helplessness help us discover humility, gratitude & an understanding of human experience that enables us to be much more compassionate in the service to others when we are called upon to help.
