Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of self-surrender and the choice to prioritize living for a higher purpose. By acknowledging one's own identity and existence ("Since I am I"), the quote highlights the significance of consciously making an effort to surrender the ego and defer to a higher authority or purpose, in this case, living according to God's will. It emphasizes the need to prioritize service to a greater power rather than being solely consumed by self-interests and desires. Even small and seemingly effortless acts of self-surrender contribute to this greater sense of purpose and alignment.

First impressions are often the truest, as we find (not infrequently) to our cost, when we have been wheedled out of them by plausible professions or studied actions.
