How can I work towards surrender?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Surrender is not a goal to be achieved; it is the recognition that comes when you stop striving and allow life to unfold in its own beautiful way."

According to Osho, surrender can’t be achieved by effort; it happens when all striving to attain stops. Notice how the mind turns every word into a project; stay alert and refuse its old work-ethic reflex. Become receptive and playful—let work be love, not duty. Relax, trust, and allow what already is to reveal itself; surrender is recognition, not acquisition.
Stop trying to do surrender; relax, watch your busy mind, and let life unfold like enjoyable play.
