Surrender - Ramana Maharshi

"Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one’s being … One’s source is within oneself. Give yourself up to it. That means that you should seek the source and merge in it." From "Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi" Talk 208.

Comforting the devotee who said that destiny prevented her from having peace, Bhagavan replied, "What is destiny? There is no destiny. Surrender, and all will be well. Throw all the responsibility on God. Do not bear the burden yourself. What can destiny do to you then?” (Talk 244). Bhagavan in Talk 244 (Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi). In this beautiful dialog, Bhagavan was comforting a lady devotee and teaching her the power of surrender to the Lord for peace of mind.
