Should I Surrender Even the Desire to Do God’s Will?

"If even doing God’s will can become an ego trap, should we let go of that desire as well? Rupert says: ‘If your self is identified with anything, however noble that thing is, that’s the ego. The ego is your self identified with something. It doesn’t matter what. If your self is identified with God, then that’s the ego . . . The desire to do God’s will should be like a thorn that removes a thorn. It removes all the other desires. And then that thorn, the desire to do God’s will, should be given up. That is true surrender . . . Just at every moment, do your very best to express your deepest love and understanding in your choices, in your decisions, in your thoughts, in your actions, in your relationships.’"
