No Half-Measures

There can be no half-measures in surrender.  You either do or you don’t.  What gets in the way is a lot of half-measure stuff that can embarrass the so-called “spiritual person.”  You can do for others but with a sense of self-importance, self-interest and self-aggrandizement.  This half-measure is rarely seen that way, because we focus on the good we are doing.  Plus, self-interest in such care for others is rapped up in the results.  We get upset if the results don’t work as we want.  You can go to church and still be a difficult person when you come out.  But you did your duty, or showed a good face.  The ego holds on to the very end.  The end?  Selfless uncompromising surrender.  Sometimes desperation is the only road available to surrender.
