SURRENDER TO GOD
"Ask to be the servant of the Lord, a vehicle of divine love, a channel of God's will. Ask for direction and divine assistance and surrender all personal will through devotion. Dedicate one's life to the service of God. Choose love and peace above all other options. Commit to the goal of unconditional love and compassion for all life in its expression and surrender all judgment to God."
- David R. Hawkins
"Take the un-traveled road, the one that may seem to lead toward crookedness and death, to giving everything up. If and when your heart demands it, throw your life away. You never know what lovely and delicious life you're going to get in return."

Martha Beck
The source of my grief and loneliness is deep in my breast. This is a disease no doctor can cure. Only union with the Friend can cure it.
- Rabi'a, quoted in Travelling the Path of Love: Sayings of Sufi Masters
