Have you seen a child going for a morning walk with his father? The father is holding the hand of the child… and the father may have all kinds of worries, but the child is full of wonder.
He has no worries; everything around him is a mystery — a butterfly, a flower, seashells on the beach, anything — all around, there are treasures and treasures.
The child is not worried, because he knows he is secure; his hand is in his father's hand. It is enough security, he does not need any more security.
Secure in love, safe from any danger — that is his father's responsibility — he is available to all that is beautiful, to all that is divine and spread all over, all around.
Just leave all the worries to me. In fact, this is what surrender is.
People ask what surrender is, but when they ask it becomes very difficult to explain to them, because it is their intellectual question.
This is surrender.
You are simply asking, "Just keep my hand in your hand; don't let go of it." The path is lonely, the night is dark. But if your hand is holding my hand then everything is light. Then there is no night, there is no dark, and everything is beautiful.
This small thing I can do for you without any trouble.
I will keep holding your hand.
I have my own ways, my own strategies. Slowly slowly, it is not me who is keeping your hand, but you who is the one holding it, But that's a secret, I should not have told you!
