Teaching from the Highest Understanding

I understand there’s no separate self to surrender, but you sometimes talk about accepting. If someone asks what they should do, how should I respond? Rupert says: ‘The teaching to surrender yourself, or the teachings around acceptance or surrender – these are addressed to one who believes that they are a separate self. If it is clear to you that there is no separate self, then the question of self-inquiry or self-surrender doesn’t even arise. You always go for the highest answer, and then you only come down off the top of the mountain as far as is necessary to meet the person at their understanding. You have to find where they are, what their question is, what their understanding is. And you have to go to them. You have to be sensitive to them and then tailor your understanding to them.’
