What does it mean to surrender?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Surrender is not submission; it is the intelligent yes to life, where the false 'I' melts away and the true self emerges in trustful openness."
According to Osho, surrender means dropping the ego’s demand to control and saying an intelligent yes to life. It is not submission to a person or creed, but trustful openness to existence, a relaxed alertness where resistance ends and flow begins. In surrender, you don’t become weak; the false ‘I’ melts and real individuality, love, and spontaneity surface, allowing truth to act through you.
Stop trying to control everything and gently trust life, so your real self can relax and respond openly.
