Wow, I love this one so much! A lot of this I can relate to! Especially about the TRUE meaning of surrender! Surrender is not about controlling or having power over lust but totally being FREE of it. Still learning, love that progress.🙌🏽🙏🏽💯❤️

it was a good speech but I think he is overstimulating the role of God in his life. what he says that that his life is fully guided by God is complete nonsense. it contradicts all the major scriptures of the world, especially the Vedic. God gave us independence and he is not interfearing into our worldy affairs. He is aloof. if he wants to stress the mercy of God. he should say so.
