Physical body, self surrender and karma

Whatever this body is to do and whatever experiences it is to pass through was already decided when it came into existence.

He who is forgetful of the Self, mistaking the physical body for it, and goes through innumerable births, is like one who wanders all over the world in a dream. Thus, realizing the Self would only be like waking up from the dream-wanderings.

Surrender can never be regarded as complete so long as the devotee wants this or that from the Lord.

Destiny (karma) is the result of past actions.

Awareness which already exists within everyone everywhere, is imperishable and changeless.


-- Sri Ramana Maharshi
