克里希納首先告訴阿朱那：「你是我非常親愛的人。」而後克里希納叫阿朱那需要臣服。

臣服以假設開始。首先你必須假設，你是神最摰愛的人；而後臣服發生。

臣服並非一種行為，而是假設。無臣服是無知，是幻相。

臣服必須以假設開始而後以真相自我展現，最後它則以幻相自我出現，因為「二者」是不存在的，二元性不存在。

任何人都沒有獨立的存在！就是這樣！

問：你需經歷臣服才能體悟那僅是種幻相嗎？

古儒吉：絕對如此。

問：那麼哪有選擇呢？

古儒吉：你的選擇即是你的命運。開始時克里希納並未告訴阿朱那他必須臣服。他最先說：「你是我非常親愛的人。」而後告訴也：「你別無選擇，你必須臣服。你或者現在就臣服，或者以後臣服。」

此即是愛之途。

161 The Path Of Surrender Is The Path Of Love

Weekly Knowledge #161 LakeTahoe, California 09 Jul 1998 USA

Krishna tells Arjuna, "You are very dear to me."

Then Krishna tells Arjuna he must surrender. Surrender begins with an

assumption. First you must assume. You assume you are the most beloved of the

Divine, and then surrender happens.

Surrender is not an action; it is an assumption. Non-surrender is

ignorance. Non-surrender is an illusion. So surrender is an assumption.

Surrender has to begin as an assumption and then it reveals itself as a

reality. Finally, it reveals itself as an illusion. An illusion because there

is no two, no duality.

There is no independent existence of anyone. An individual has no

independent existence. That is it!

Question: Do you have to go through surrender to realize it is an illusion?

Answer: Yes, absolutely.

Question: Where is choice then?

Answer: Choice is your destiny.

Krishna doesn't tell Arjuna in the beginning that he must surrender. First

he says, "You are so dear to me." And then he tells him, " There is no other

choice for you, you must surrender. Either you do it now, or you do it later."

This is the path of love.
