Surrender implies that henceforth my life is given to the Divine. It means that henceforth I will obey the Divine and do what the Divine wants me to do, be what the Divine wants me to be. In this process, the biggest obstacle is our self-will; obstacles are habits, tendencies of thinking, feeling and behaving in certain ways. If we are not ready to change these things and align them to the Divine, then the talk and claim to surrender is merely lip service. After all, this is the difference between Hanuman ji and Ravana. One has completely surrendered oneself moulding his life around his Lord, whereas Ravana engaged in all kinds of readings and rituals, only follows his egoistic self will.
Affectionately,
