Surrendering to God

[Spiritual Warrior]

Surrendering to God

A: Why should someone surrender to God? Why not fight with God? Why not argue with him and berate him and throw stones at him? 

B: Would he do that to you? 

A: No 

B: You also have no choice in the matter, you have to surrender to him, he is all powerful, the creator of all of existence, what else is there to do but surrender. 

A: Surrender? What does that even mean? 

B: You surrender to the experience, surrender to the path, stop fighting it, it's already been laid out for you. 

A: Okay... Then why don't I have a routine and why does my head jumble around and why do I never know what the right thing to do is? 

You do know the right thing.

How do I know that I know the right thing? 

Because there is no wrong thing. What would make something wrong?

It's wrong if it doesn't benefit me, if it was a mistake, if I hurt somebody or ruined a relationship.

And what makes these instances wrong? 

They are not truly wrong per se but they hurt me.. and I always know that I could have handled the situation in the "right" way, which is the opposite of the "wrong" way.

Sure.. but how could you possibly learn how to do something in the "right" way without learning from its opposite, the "wrong" way.

Yeah.. I guess you're right. We need both, and you can't have one without the other. Does that make them not opposites? Because if two things are dependent on each other, then how could they be opposites, they are one and the same. They must be. Can they be both? Yeah.. I guess they can, I mean they are right now. 

Can they be opposites and dependent on each other? 

Yeah I guess. 

You guess or you know?

I don't think I know anything anymore 

I say again, can they be opposites while simultaneously being dependent on each other? 

Lets back up for a second.. what is the definition of an opposite?

Two opposites are two opposing forces that balance each other out. 

What if there's only one opposite? 

Not possible. You cant have one opposite, there needs to be a second thing in order for the balance to be needed.
