Surrender, 1st excerpt

It has to be a ‘total surrender’ from within, a total surrender to come down from the state you are in, from the state you are trying to maintain.

Surrender and know when to stop with the knowing, the seeing. 

Know when to let go of the knowing, the seeing.
Know when to come out of the state you are trying to maintain.

Surrender.  Then everything will unwind itself.

Whatever state your mind is in, let it go.

That way, everything will flow without any obstruction as it originally does; it will be according to the Truth of Things—Nirvana as it originally is.

Nirvana is not something you can think of as being ‘high’ or ‘low.’ Nor is it something ‘to gain,’ ‘to lose,’ ‘to have,’ ‘to be’ or to have anything to do with in any way whatsoever.

So don’t make any effort to gain it. Don’t.
It is non-attaching as it is.

It is the Truth that is fundamental for all things, ultimate in itself.

It is the Truth that doesn’t need to be interpreted or searched for.
