in him? He was doing the same job, but why was there no more fear and tension? Because the responsibility had been shifted to a higher authority, that's all. He continued to do what he was doing. When you surrender to the higher energy, you can never feel drained and exhausted because you are directly connected to the one who is an embodiment of the infinite energy. This is the gift of surrender. Three levels of surrender I will now explain to you the three categories of surrender: surrender of the intellect, surrender of emotions and surrender of your very senses. The first is surrender of intellect which means trusting the master's intellect more than your own intellect. This is just intellectual surrender. At this stage, you follow the lifestyle that the master shows you.

The second is trusting the master's emotions much more than your own emotions. This means trusting that the relationship with the master is the ultimate relationship, more than any other relationship. If god appears before you and asks you to choose one person on planet earth as the only other person who can be alive except you, who will you choose? If you choose the master, then emotional surrender has happened to you. Of course, the master can never be destroyed, but that is different! Never think that just because you choose him he is alive! He will be alive whether you choose him or not. If you feel that your emotion towards the master is stronger than any other emotion, then emotional surrender has happened in you.

Be very clear, 99% of the people remain in the first level. Only a few people move deeper to the second level. The rest remain standing where they are. There is the third kind of surrender, surrender of the senses. In Krishna's life there is a beautiful incident. After the Mahabharata war, when Krishna and Arjuna are relaxing, Krishna says, Hey! Arjuna, look there, there is a green crow! Arjuna says, Beautiful! A green crow! Krishna says, Fool! It is black, not green. Arjuna says, Yes Krishna! It is black, not green. Krishna asks, What has happened to you? When I say green, you say green. When I say black, you say black. What is going on with you? Arjuna says, Krishna, let me be honest. I don't know what color that crow is.

But when you said green I saw it as green. When you said black I saw it as black. I know nothing else! Arjuna's very senses trusted Krishna.
