Surrendering

Complete surrender is another name for liberation. So complete surrender does require that you have no desire of your own, that God’s desire alone is your own and that you have no desire of your own.

Surrender to him and abide by his will whether he appears or vanishes; await his pleasure. If you ask him to do as you please, that is not surrender but a command to him. You can’t have him obey you and yet think that you have surrendered. He alone knows what is best for you. Leave everything up to him. He is the the burden; you no longer have any cares.
