Any soul finds it difficult to act against its sanskars (calture). Just like the one who has the power of peace, finds it difficult to face anything... The one who has the power to face, finds it difficult to remain calm...!
So, it seems right to us to adopt an easy path and to walk according to our sanskars, because we have adapted accordingly and have created a belief system, a pattern, which we do not think of going beyond… and this is the reason Only we are not able to change ourselves...!
So that's why Shiv Baba says that we should check what power we have and what power we need - because this analysis and understanding will make our path of self-transformation easier.
When we do sva-darshan, that is, when we see ourselves… watching our every word, thought, every deed, then all our inner powers become awakened…
And on the contrary, when we do a Darshan i.e. what others are doing, why they are doing it - when our eyes, our attention are on it, then all our powers go to sleep.
The game of this world is based on our actions. The one who has done the work, he gets the result of it. The only difference is that the one who does it with a true heart, he makes his fortune high… and the one who does it with the mind i.e. out of selfishness, his Ravan i.e. Ravan-like sanskars, i.e. ego becomes big.
The talent which increases ego, comparison, competition in my soul, then it is not a talent at all…, that means it is not an art, but the attitude of the soul is turning towards downfall.
To surrender means to merge everything. When we take everything in, then the power to cope increases within us. We get the power to face every problem, what a big deal..., when God is my companion then what is difficult for me...? So to assimilate means to accept becomes the basis of success.
