Surrender Quotes

I have no fear, no worries; I am completely surrendered to the will of my Beloved.

Mirabai
28

Never forget that whatever is happening is for your own good. With this in mind, surrender to the Divine and bear all happiness and unhappiness as God’s gift.

Sanyal Mahasaya
24

We have not come here to take prisoners But to surrender ever more deeply To freedom and joy.

Hafiz
23

Love consumes us only in the measure of our self-surrender.

Therese of Lisieux
23

The 'I' casts off the illusion of the 'I' and yet remains 'I'. Such is the paradox of Self-realization. The Realized do not see any paradox in it. Consider the case of the worshipper. He approaches God and prays to be absorbed in Him. He then surrenders himself in faith and by concentration. And what remains afterwards? In the place of the original 'I', self-surrender leaves a residuum of God in which the 'I' is lost. That is the highest form of devotion or surrender and the peak of detachment.

Ramana Maharshi
23

You cannot have a desire to surrender because that's non-surrender. Surrender arises spontaneously sometimes in people who don't even have a word for it. And I know that openness is there in many people.

Eckhart Tolle
22

As the river surrenders itself to the ocean, what is inside me moves inside you.

Kabir
22

All moments are beautiful, only you have to be receptive and surrendering. All moments are blessings, only you have to be capable of seeing. All moments are benedictions. If you accept with a deep gratitude, nothing ever goes wrong.

Osho (Rajneesh)
22

The five yamas are: non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, brahmacharya and non-attachment. The five niyamas are: purity, contentment, study of the self, tapas (austerity) and surrender to God. The yamas and niyamas are the first two components of yoga’s eight integral components which are: yamas, niyamas, asanas, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana and samadhi. Yoga sadhana can only be performed within the protective fortress of the yamas and niyamas. Without this foundation, the seeker is condemned to endless disturbances.

Swami Kripalvananda

Surrender and living in the present are one and the same.

Mata Amritanandamayi
20

Heart is the place of emotion, ego, and attachment. You have to rise above all the propensities of the heart. Clean it thoroughly, surrendering it to God through regular prayer and meditation, and through sincere and steadfast effort.

Paramahamsa Hariharananda
19

To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.

Lao Tzu
19

Place your burden at the feet of the Lord of the universe who is ever victorious and accomplishes everything. Remain all the time steadfast in the heart, in the Transcendental Absolute. God knows the past, present and future. He will determine the future for you and accomplish the work. What is to be done will be done at the proper time. Don't worry. Abide in the heart and surrender your acts to the Divine.

Ramana Maharshi

Paramahamsa Hariharananda

Surrender your self-interest. Love others as much as you love yourself. Then you can be entrusted with all things under heaven.

Lao Tzu
18

Spiritually, no action is more important than surrender. Surrender is the tenderest impulse of the heart, acting out of love to give whatever the beloved wants. Surrender is being alert to exactly what is happening now, not imposing expectations from the past. Surrender is faith that the power of love can accomplish anything, even when you cannot foresee the outcome of a situation.

Deepak Chopra
18

Give Me Strength This is my prayer to thee, my lord---strike, strike at the root of penury in my heart. Give me the strength lightly to bear my joys and sorrows. Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service. Give me the strength never to disown the poor or bend my knees before insolent might. Give me the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifles. And give me the strength to surrender my strength to thy will with love.

Rabindranath Tagore
18

They deceive themselves who believe that union with God consists in ecstasies or raptures, and in the enjoyment of Him. For it consists in nothing except the surrender and subjection of our will - with our thoughts, words and actions - to the will of God.

Teresa of Ávila
17

Surrender to your own self, of which everything is an expression.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Dnyaneshwar

Dnyaneshwar

Surrender is faith that the power of Love can accomplish anything even when you cannot foresee the outcome.

Deepak Chopra
15

In a real fort the occupants need a continuous supply of food and water to hold out during a siege. When the supplies run out, the occupants must surrender or die. In the fort of the mind the occupants, which are thoughts, need a thinker to pay attention to them and indulge in them.
