Personal effort and surrender are often seen as contradictory processes of sadhana. But they are complementary processes and go together. Speaker tells us about the various levels of balance, types of effort with practical examples and the need for exercising choices. Personal effort in itself is not the end but the way for joy, harmony and growth of surrender. He also tells us what really is true surrender and the path of offering which enlarges us. As we grow in surrender we become wide and supple which subsequently paves the way for growth into the immensity of the Divine Consciousness, into Its vastness and Light.
