The Intersection: Both involve yielding one's personal will and letting go of the fight against a greater force or circumstance.
The Divergence: Submission is done out of fear, weakness, and coercion. The ego is defeated but remains silently hostile. Surrender is done out of profound love and total trust. It is an act of ultimate strength, where the ego is willingly and joyfully dissolved.
