45. A wise man should not give up the body out of aversion to it. Know that when once the prarabdha karma [result of accumulated actions] which was responsible for the creation of the body ceases, the bodily burden will automatically fall off.

Lord Krishna said: “ The man who sees me in everything and everything within me will not be lost to me, nor will I ever be lost to him.”

When we say “surrendering to God,” some may feel we should act either irrational or STOP ACTING ALTOGETHER.
That is not true.
Surrender is the quantum leap from mind to mindlessness, from ego to a state of no ego.
To surrender ourselves to God means to allow God to work through us, or to do things according to our inner voice.
Surrendering to God means to become an instrument of God.
(Bhagavad Gita 6:30 )

Heat Of Knowledge
For your prayer to be answered, the desire has to be intense. The greater the intensity of desire and the later it gets fulfilled, then greater will be the gratitude.
lntense desire leads you to devotion. For desire to get intense, time and the need for the desire are required. The feeling of gratitude is so overwhelming after the fulfillment of desire that it's achievement loses its charm and significance.
The son of a farmer in India had a life-long desire to go to England and he prayed deeply for it. Even the news of his trip to England materializing filled him with immense gratitude -- he did not even care whether he went or not.
Often people think that they are unfortunate if their desires don't get fulfilled quickly. lntense desire can frustrate you or make you prayerful. In prayerfulness, there is gratitude and devotion. Any intense experience makes you whole.
Your consciousness is like corn. With the heat of Knowledge, consciousness pops ups and becomes white and fluffy.

Desire For Truth
Buddha said that desire is the cause of all misery. If your desire does not get fulfilled, it leads to frustration and causes misery. Even if it does get fulfilled, it leaves you empty.
Vashishhtha said that desire is the cause of pleasure. You get pleasure from an object or a person only when you desire them. When you do not desire an object, you do not get pleasure from it. For example, when a person is hot and thirsty, a sip of cold water gives him pleasure; but not if he is not thirsty. Whatever gives you pleasure binds you and bondage is misery.
Sri Sri says when you desire for truth, all other desires drop off. You always desire for something that is not there. But, truth is always there! Desire for truth removes all other desires and it itself dissolves. And what remains is bliss.

Decide consciously, 'From today onwards, I will live without worry and incompletions'. Life is too short to be spent worrying about your incompletions. Dont bother about the goals, just drop them. The moment you understand the beauty of purposelessness, all the wounds you have created in your inner space will be healed. You will fall into the comfort of Eternal Bliss.

बहूनां जन्मनामन्ते ज्ञानवान्मां प्रपद्यते।
वासुदेव: सर्वमिति स महात्मा सुदुर्लभ:॥ १९॥
बहुत जन्मोंके अन्तिम जन्ममें अर्थात् मनुष्यजन्ममें सब कुछ परमात्मा ही हैं— इस प्रकार (जो) ज्ञानवान् मेरे शरण होता है, वह महात्मा अत्यन्त दुर्लभ है।
In the very last of all births the enlightenedperson worships Me by realizing that all this isGod. Such a great soul is very rare indeed. (7:19)

46. The consciousness which shines as "I" in the Heart Lotus is pure [flawless] and perfectly steady [without a trace of movement]. By destroying the ego, which rises [from that consciousness], that consciousness itself bestows the Supreme joy of liberation. Be sure about it.
