Quotes on the power of Surrender by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Surrender or 'letting go' is not an act. It is the realization that you are not the doer and that whatever is happening is how it should be!

 

1. Surrender happens spontaneously with the knowledge that you are not in control of anything, not even your thoughts or feelings. When you realize that you are not in control of your life, but some supreme law governs life, then surrender happens.


 

2. We think surrender is a sign of weakness, when in fact, it is a sign of strength. Surrender comes with knowledge, realization, and gratefulness.

7. Surrender is not an act. It is a state of your being. Yoga, pranayama and meditation help bring about this state.

10. Surrender is not an act. It is a state of your being
