letting go
Shedding spiritual concepts | When to let go of teachings | Vedanta
Letting go of the desire to succeed | Effort vs letting go | Self-Surrender
Devotion is key | Do we need to make an effort? | Yoga Vasistha | Sadhanai Saram
We need to make an effort, but the primary effort we make is to let go and surrender ourselves to Him, and then it’s done by God’s Grace. You’ll find all the answers come, synchronicities happen, or a great difficulty will come your way and it will give rise to a Jewel.
Here is a link to the piece about Sadhanai Saram mentioned in this video.

When you let go of everything | Letting go vs effort | The spark of the divine | Inner knowing
Q. I want to see if I comprehend properly, between the terms self-effort and self-inquiry, because what comes into my mind is letting go, which seems to be somehow in contradiction to the term effort.

Effort vs. letting go | When you let go of everything…

Give everything to God. What remains is what you ARE
Give everything to God. We give everything to God and what’s left is what we are. What remains is love, love in your heart. The tranquility that feels whole that feels right, it feels gentle, it feels right. Feels like home, that’s what we are looking for.

Video: the process of letting go
When is the right time to let go of teachings?
Give up everything
The following is by Robert Adams:
What happens is this. As you keep giving up all the reactions to life. As you begin to surrender everything to the one Self. The one Self which is the absolute reality, the pure awareness takes over.
And will do whatever you have to do, even better than you can do it yourself. This power that knows the way will take you over completely. And it will speak for you. Do everything for you that you have to do and yet you will feel that you are not the doer.
Yet everything will be done perfectly.
Many people are afraid to give up their senses. For they believe that they will turn into a vegetable. But this is not true. You will always function. You will always do what you came to this earth to do. And you will even do it better than you ever can imagine.
So do not concern yourself about these things. Simply go within, surrender everything to the Self.
Give up everything.
