Unconditional surrender is absolute trust. It starts with acceptance of whatever happens in our life. That is the first surrender, surrender to the law of Karma, whatever unfolds is the reaction of our own past actions. We surrender to that without any question, trusting the law. Then comes surrender to what will be, when we hand over our life, our future, unconditionally. That is Divine unconditional surrender. We live without fear, or worry like a feather that surrenders to the air, like a leaf tossed on a river. So we must surrender.
