"True surrender is the unconditional yes to life, where the grip of wanting and not wanting dissolves, allowing pleasure and pain to fade into the bliss of equanimity."
According to Osho, if surrender is total, you do not try to stop pleasure or pain; you leave even that to God. True surrender is unconditional consenting yes-ness, which drops the personal stance of wanting or not-wanting, the very root of pleasure and pain. When the grip of I want/I don't want falls, pleasure and pain lose their basis and naturally dissolve into equanimity, revealing bliss beyond both.
Let go and trust completely; when you stop insisting on what you want or don’t want, pleasure and pain lose their power over you.
