He often explained however, that true devotion is devotion
to the Self and therefore it comes to the same as Self-enquiry.
It is enough that one surrenders oneself. Surrender is giving
oneself up to the original cause of one’s being. Do not delude
yourself by imagining this source to be some God outside you.
One’s source is within oneself. Give yourself up to it. That means
that you should seek the source and merge in it. Because you
imagine yourself to be out of it, you raise the question, ‘Where
is the source?’ Some contend that just as sugar cannot taste its
own sweetness for there must be someone to taste and enjoy it,
so an individual cannot both be the Supreme and also enjoy
the Bliss of that State; therefore the individuality must be
maintained separate from the Godhead in order to make
enjoyment possible. But is God insentient like sugar? How can
one surrender oneself and yet retain one’s individuality for
supreme enjoyment? Furthermore they also say that the soul,
on reaching the divine region and remaining there, serves the
supreme Being. Can the sound of the word ‘service’ deceive the
Lord? Does He not know? Is He waiting for these people’s
services? Would He not – Pure Consciousness – ask in turn:
‘Who are you apart from Me that presume to serve Me?’
