Awakening is a concept that is taught in many religious traditions around the world. The steps or pathways to awakening are many and varied. Whether the awakening a person seeks involves discovering the highest purpose for one’s life, the pathway to the cessation of suffering, the exquisite balance that exists in all that is, or some other important religious experience or awareness, some level of surrender is required. The question we need to consider is whether and/or how we are prepared to surrender to the awakening that could occur in any moment.
