 every human being has a deep deep deep inner call to bend and the bending is not just in the physical like kneeling in the church it's in the emotional it's in the tears of joy in that bending the tears that flow in that moment when the whole system is in surrender surrender to what Namaskar Namaskar Thank you for taking my question. I had this face a few weeks ago where I was drawn to Christian churches even though I'm not Christian and I had this strong urge to sit in there and bend down and Get to my knees physically and just be and I don't know what drew me there because I have no history with with churches or Christianity and At the same time I discovered your teachings and I think that's that impulse draw me to your teachings And I got interested because I couldn't really figure out what what I was doing because it just happened somehow, I don't know and Yeah, my question is I don't really want to be picky with words, but I'm a german speaker as you may Here I'm from Austria and the word surrender in german can mean Different things to surrender could mean to give yourself up in terms of surrender to an enemy Or it could be totally devote yourself So my question would be if you could give me some help with the words because I'm a little bit afraid that I Understand it not in the right way and that might might lead to some problems on my way So the word that comes to me Which helps in the understanding of the word surrender for a german speaker would be Hingabe Demut These two words together Hingabe Demut and The idea of surrender being that you lay down your weapons and you're helpless and defenseless is Not the way it is Used in this context. It's actually comes from the Sanskrit word summer pun which means giving yourself into fully into the experience of truth Every part of your being is given into that experience And when you got pulled into a church and you got You were made in a sense by life to sit To kneel in that church That is life telling you time to start bending Time to surrender How many times in a day do you bend for anything actually? Even to clean the floor you don't bend you don't bend for anything And that is the whole problem that Even that chance and that opportunity to kneel down which was given to your grandfather's generation has been taken away from you Even that is not there And at the same time every human being has a deep deep deep inner call to bend And the bending is not just in the physical Like kneeling in the church It's in the emotional it's in the tears of joy in that bending The tears that flow in that moment when the whole system is in surrender surrender to what to life itself to the truth of this existence Whether it's soul or truth or source It's the experience of the entire system of the materiality of the emotions of the thoughts Of your entire creative ability It's about being in that unity state with life itself with the truth of this living That's why you get pulled into the church because life is telling you so now enough now start bending and then you you you Come across a video of this teaching. Why does that happen to you? Because it's the time And this is a teaching of surrender What is the german Translation in your head for surrender And the one that you used is actually the one that is close to my heart and that i myself would use demo to the hingabe But the other word would be sich ergeben that would be In terms of an enemy attacking you that would render So that's why I was drawn actually to hingabe, but I just wanted to Check in with you and them. Yeah Yes, hingabe has a little tinge of the religious, but we can work with that for the moment Yeah, and when you start learning sanskrit Right But don't worry about it. You know, you have nothing to lose anyway If you look at it from a whole different point of view, I mean, what's the big deal? What is your name? philip philip So what is this philip? What is the big thing that philip is going to lose anyway? If he see her gave into somebody or Surrenders or lays down his weapons or whatever it is which enemy is there that's coming to get you anyway Even if you were see her given to the soul or to source What actually is there that is being given up in that process nothing zero It's a it's a body with a name It's my clean yeah, I'm right There's nothing much more to it if you think about it. Yeah, you know what I mean And I'm not trying to To diminish or to reduce who you are I'm saying that This body has a name and it has an origin And it's comprised of all of this and the surrender process is what brings you to yourself It brings you into the awareness of what this is Yeah, it doesn't take you away from yourself. It brings you to yourself You were pulled into the church and to surrender and it is not a religious thing there That church was just a place which for you is possible. You have a cultural connect with that place You know that you can kneel in a church. It's there in your genetic inheritance. And so you did that, you know Just as a as an Indian would maybe kneel in front of a guru because we have a tradition of living masters in India It is a land of living masters. So they kneel in front of the living master And you come from that tradition. So it's easier for you to kneel in front of the cross The point is that something life is telling you Time to bend philip time to bend And bend means bend it means physically bend emotionally conceptually Transformatively Unity consciousness pluriform consciousness the entire system The materiality is the base of it and all that goes with it is in bending. It's just in surrender Surrender surrender and then you're ready your fit to live life You're a man full of A future of brightness Maybe with a nice wife and a few children something real In God Thank you so much If I may just a quick last question If I'm not at the moment able to attend one of your immersives Would you say there's another way to maybe go deeper and learn from your teaching more than just watching youtube videos? Or could you just maybe say Give me some advice Yes, I think that's more than enough if you can't make it to an immersive watch the videos None of us are disciplined enough to sit down and do anything So I mean we do we do things but like writing the books and all this just doesn't happen But this is also, you know, it's a teaching that will make its way to everyone Who needs it somehow it'll happen Right now it's this way through the videos you do Whatever the videos speak about when you can come to an immersive you come One day you will be able to attend and that's what you should aim for and then you can learn in the presence Until then you learn from the videos. Actually, you can just do it yourself. Also, you just have to feel that source just Move into that surrender state as I did it before with you. I did you into it Powerful experience, you know You live like that as much as possible And then you won't worry so much about the Semantics of surrender Thank you. Let's go. Namaskar
