The true meaning of surrender is the recognition of the fact that in everyone and everywhere God is present. The recognition of the presence of God in all Jivas is the true meaning of the word surrender. We should perform all the tasks enjoined upon us as our duty and it is not right to neglect our duty and sit idly and say that you have surrendered everything to the Lord.
If you have the feeling that all the work that you do is to please God, then that is the right aspect of surrender or Sarangathi. It cannot be the meaning of surrender to give the consequences of all the bad that you do to God and take the consequences of all the good that you do to yourself. - From Bhagawan's Discourse in June'1974, Brindavan
