Dedicate all your thoughts and aspirations to God and surrender yourselves to the Will of the Divine. Surrender may appear to be difficult, but it is not so. It is, in fact, like keeping your money in the bank. You will be able to draw money from the bank whenever you need it. Similarly when you have entrusted all your concerns to Bhagavan, you can draw from Him whatever you need. What is it that stands in the way of this surrender? It is your ego and your possessiveness. You do not have sufficient trust in the Lord. People desperately cling to their possessions saying: "My money, my house" and so on. They forget that when you surrender to the Divine, you acquire His Grace. Some time or the other your wealth will go. But once you have earned the Grace of God, you can feel secure and satisfied. The Lord does not need your wealth; He is always a "Chittachora" (one who steals the heart).

The quality of true love is to give and not to receive. - Baba
