[MENCADO]

The word master carries some very negative connotations. I have a reflexive negative reaction to its use. It seems to me that a student should not practice intellectual surrender, but should actively question, challenge, consider, and accept nothing that they do not find to be unquestionably true. Otherwise, the student runs the risk of falling victim to a psychological enslavement to what may simply be the master's apparently wise thinking.

[yogeeshashram]

Please watch more of Acharya Shree's videos so that you may understand what surrendering means to the master.

@MENCADO i understand u must and have t always question unbiased... but when u find out the truth to your existence you realize that u must surrender ur entire ego in order to become completely set free... but keep digging and researching and coming up w/ ur own conclusions until that day when the true epiphany clears the mist from ur eyes.. :)

[fr33za33]

@Damis10001 I think you should believe, period. Because if you do not believe then nothing is possible. If you do believe then everything is possible. If he never existed then everyone who believes is stupid. If he did exist then everyone who believes is walking towards enlightenment. But you must be walking. If you are not walking then even if you believe or don't believe, you will get nowhere. So believe in the possibility and walk towards it and his purpose will be served.

[Damis10001]

I READ THAT JESUS NEVER LIVED--THAT HE WAS AN INVENTION OF THE EARLY CHRISTIAN CHURCH IN ORDER TO CONTROL THE MASSES. OR, THAT HE WAS REALLY AN ENLIGHTENED TEACHER FROM THAT TIME, LIKE APPOLONIUS OF TYANA, WHO'S TEACHINGS THEY SAID WAS REALLY FROM JESUS...PLEASE ENLIGHTEN US ON WHY JESUS WHY WE SHOULD BELIEVE THAT HE WAS A REAL MASTER. THANK YOU FOR CLEARING THIS UP.

[jhanayoga]

wise wise words from a very human teacher. Thank you for sharing your precious knowledge. :) 

[BobbyBerberyan]

I was nodding my head up and down the whole time you were talking, thank you kindly Sir.

[ObsidianImages]

And which "satguru" was this?

[SaFiUk20]

First at all you need to know what is ego and what it do in our minds and life then you will understand what is he talking about.

[intelite]

I surrendered and loved my satguru. After one year she threw me out while having a hair day. :(

[HuckleberrySlim]

when I say this it might not have any credibility or weight, take this subject from someone who really really knows. Like I said society messes you up enough as it is, I don't need to help! These two videos are spot on this subject.

And I am sure you aren't ignorant, you ask questions, you seek truth. So please don't take offense. Just don't refuse assistance from somebody helpful. We are all on the same staircase. Its ok to offer a hand.

[HuckleberrySlim]

Master is just a word thats all, it does not imply that you can never ever question the master, just that you see somebody has mastered himself, and that he can help you master yourself. The idea is not to go from one belief to another, but to transcend beliefs altogether and go straight into Knowing. Knowing is different than knowledge. Knowing requires no more thinking. What is the purpose of thinking about it if you already know it? Thinking and beliefs are just a substitute for knowing.
