According to Osho, subduing the senses through the mind is the first, indispensable stage: by mastering passions you forge a real, integrated will—a true mind. Only then can the second stage occur: surrendering that very mind, dissolving it into the Divine. Without disciplined mind, there’s nothing to surrender; with it, renunciation becomes the highest resolve.
First build a strong, steady mind by not chasing every desire; then you can let even that mind go.
