I would appreciate your thoughts/experience of it.

Prayer & Surrender

As we become more receptive to the voice of the conscience, we find that it holds us accountable for smaller and smaller matters. Even at the subtlest hint of a wrong thought, we find that the conscience pricks.

So at night, scan your heart and see where your con­science is pricking you. See where you feel uncomfortable and find out the reason. Without such introspection, there is no pos­sibility of improvement.

On the other hand, the notion of self-improvement is para­doxical. When there is ‘self,’ there is no improvement. If you introspect with ego, thinking that I will correct myself, it cannot work. Too much of your “I” is present.

In prayer, on the other hand, your heart simply droops in surrender, and you leave every­thing to the higher Being, saying, ‘Please, let thy will be done.’

What is needed is a mixture of introspection and surrender—a friendly pact between you and God.

Through prayerful intro­spection, you discover your defects, but rather than resolving to correct them yourself, you relinquish yourself and invoke higher help.
