Aum Sairam
The surrender to the divine occurs in the heart and in the understanding, not in outer behavior. Surrender must come from love, not a sense of obligation or duty.
Offering positive things to Sri Sai means you feel gratitude toward Sri Sai for what you have and you recognize that it is not yours, or something that belongs to your ego, but rather it is a gift from Sri Sai you offer back.
When we offer our bad habits to Sri Sai, we feel humble and receptive of Sri Sai's grace and we understand that our attachment to it is based on the ego's mistake.
It doesn't matter to Sri Sai what we are offering, Sri Sai doesn't need it. What is important is the connection that is established through the love in the gift.
Just as a child might bring his mother a present of a stick or mud pie or a flower. She doesn't care what the gift is, what matters are the flow of love that is created from the offering. As you offer more and more of your life to Sri Sai, that current of love grows stronger and stronger until that divine love dominates your life.
