How can surrender done out of fear lead to fearlessness?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"Surrendering out of fear is the first step towards fearlessness, for in that act of letting go, you align with the divine and dissolve the very essence of fear."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, surrender must happen as you are—afraid, incomplete. By dropping all claims and handing the reins to the divine, you stop egoic rowing and let grace carry you. Even if born of fear, genuine surrender aligns you with God; in that union fear evaporates. Fearlessness comes only when God is found.
Even if you’re scared, give everything to the Divine now; when you stop trying to control and trust fully, real courage appears.
Why this matters practically
- Lets you start now, without waiting to be perfect.
- Eases anxiety by shifting from control to trust.
- Offers a practical stance: stop rowing, open your sail, and listen.
