15. Surrender Happens
Beloved Tao,
Love. Don't think about Surrender at all - because
that-which-thinks about it is the only barrier.
And therefore no one can surrender; it is not a doing at all.
It happens - you cannot go to it - it comes to you.
And, any effort on your part will hinder its coming.
Be open and effortless - relaxed and passive.
And it will come - it always comes.
I am a witness to it.
