Surrender

Surrender defined: to give oneself up, as into the power of another; submit or yield.      ===================================

“Don’t seek God in temples. He is close to you. He is within you. Only you should surrender to Him and you will rise above happiness and unhappiness.” – Tolstoy

“It is the will of the almighty that prevails. By living in harmony with this will and becoming an instrument in His Hands you should try to realize Him” – Anandamayee Ma

“Everything is in God’s hands, and you are His tool to be used by Him as He pleases. Try to grasp the significance of ‘all is His’, and you will immediately feel free from all burdens. What will be the result of your surrender to Him? None will seem alien, all will be your very own, your Self.” – Anandamayee Ma

“When you leave everything to Him Who is the Fountain of Peace, and then only may you hope for peace.” Anandamayee Ma

If we were in tune and communing with God every moment, where would be the need to pray or ask for anything? We would have such a perfect sense of well-being, of complete confidence in our dependence upon Him, that we would feel a constant inner assurance: “He knows what He is doing with me. I cannot always understand His way, but I am content in the realization that He knows what is best.” That is surrender.
Daya Mata, `Only Love’
ALL BELONGS TO GOD

True self-surrender is the knowledge that the body, mind and soul belong to the Lord; that all our talents and gifts come from Him; that it is through His Grace and power that we think, act, breathe, sleep and digest our food; that all our material possessions belong to Him; that His Will is supreme.—Sri Swami Sivanand

“Only as you kneel before My Throne placing your human personality in entire subjection to my Divine Personality, can you be allowed to use My Power.” -  Eva Bell Werber (Quiet Talks With the Master, quoted by Science of Mind magazine, Daily Guide, Jan 5, 2008)

“If you surrender completely to the moments as they pass, you live more richly those moments.” Anne Morrow Lindbergh

“Keep your feet on the earth but lift your face towards the heavens, for the Light which floods into you from on high will steady your feet and guide them in the right path.  Have confidence in this divine Light.  Surrender with a tranquil mind and a heart full of love to this infinite Wisdom.” White Eagle
