Do you think bamboo

surrendering to the God?​

Answer 1

Answer:

There is a beautiful story about the FLUTE of Lord Krishna. We all know that Krishna always holds a Flute in His hands and there is a great story behind it...

Everyday Krishna would go in the garden and say to all the plants, "I love you". The plants would be very happy and respond saying, "We love u too, Krishna". One day Krishna rushed quickly into the garden and was alarmed. He went to the bamboo plant and the bamboo asked,"Lord what is wrong?" The Lord said,"I have something to ask you but its very difficult". The bamboo said,"tell me if i can help you". Krishna said," I need your life and for that i need to cut you". The bamboo thought for a while and said,"don't u have any other choice?" The Lord said,"No there is no other way." The bamboo said,"OKAY" and gave himself up. Lord Krishna cut the bamboo and made holes in it and each time he carved the holes, the bamboo was crying in pain...Krishna made a beautiful Flute out of it and this was with Him all the time. Even the Gopis were jealous of the Flute and they said,"Look, Krishna is our Lord but yet we get to spend only sometime with Him. He wakes up with His Flute, sleeps with it and keeps it with Him all the 24 hours of the day". Gopis asked the bamboo to tell the secret why the Lord treasures his Flute so much. The bamboo said,"The secret is that i gave myself up and allowed the Lord to do whatever He felt right and in the process and I underwent a lot of pain and now I'm totally empty inside. And the Lord does whatever He wants to do with me, whenever He wants and however He wants with me. I have just become His instrument".

So, THIS IS COMPLETE SURRENDER: where God can do whatever and whenever he wants with you and as he wants. Trust Him completely and have Faith in Him and always think you are in His safe hands...and nothing can go wrong. This is complete SURRENDER.

No questions asked...just be...not in the Past...not in the Future..be rooted in the Present
