Surrender

Willing to experience aloneness, I discover connection everywhere.
Turning to face my fear, I meet the warrior who lives within.
Opening to my loss, I gain the embrace of the Universe.
Surrendering to emptiness, I find fullness without end.
Each condition I flee from pursues me.
Each condition I welcome transforms me,
and becomes itself transformed into its radiant jewel-like essence.
I bow to the one who has made it so; who has crafted this Master Game.
To play it is pure delight.
To honor its form, true devotion.

Jennifer Wellwood

only the real can free you

Yoga means that now there is no hope, now there is no future, now there are no desires. One is not interested in what can be, what should be, what ought to be. One is not interested! One is only interested in that which is, because only the real can free you, only the reality can become liberation.
Bhagwan S. Rajneesh Yoga: The science of the soul (Rajneeshpuram, OR: Rajneesh Foundation International, 1976), pp. 6-7.
