Do your part, and remember that
you are capable of doing your part.
Osho:
Whenever you are able to surrender, the teacher will
come. The teacher is there. Teachers have always been in
existence. The world has never lacked teachers, it has
always lacked disciples. But no teacher can begin
anything unless someone surrenders. So whenever you have
a moment to surrender, do not lose it. Even if you do
not find anyone to whom to surrender, then just
surrender to existence. But whenever there is a moment
to surrender, do not lose it, because then you are on
the borderline where you are in between sleep and
waking. Just surrender!
If you can find someone,
that is good. If you cannot find anyone, just surrender
to the universe. And the teacher will appear, he will
come. He rushes whenever there is surrender. You become
vacant, you become empty; spiritually, you become empty.
Then the spiritual force rushes toward you and fills
you. So always remember that whenever you feel like
surrendering, do not lose the moment. It may not come
again or it may come after centuries and lives have been
unnecessarily wasted. Whenever the moment comes, just
surrender.
But the mind has a
trick. If you are angry, you will be angry that very
moment. But if you feel like surrendering. you will
think about it, you will plan about it, you will wait.
And with the mind, it is always only in a moment when it
is on the boundary. So just surrender to the divine, to
anything, even to a tree, because the real thing is not
to whom you surrender -- the real thing is surrendering.
Surrender to a tree, and the tree will become a teacher
to you. Many things will be revealed to you from the
tree which no scripture can reveal to you.
Surrender to a stone,
and the stone will become a god. And the stone will
reveal things which no god can reveal to you. The real
thing is surrendering. Whenever there is surrendering,
one always appears who becomes responsible for you. This
is what is meant by initiation.
