Question: How do I surrender to God?
Answer: Surrender is not a passive attitude. Surrender requires strength, courage, and devotion to the will of God. As Swami Kriyananda described the process of enlightenment, it is an upward relaxation with joy and willingness into super consciousness.
In order to have the strength and calmness to accept God’s will, you must practice being even-minded and cheerful under all circumstances. Paramhansa Yogananda would say that all conditions are neutral; they become positive or negative according to the attitude of mind. The practice of daily meditation and prayer is essential to develop this equanimity. Through the practice of daily devotion try to see everything that comes to you as coming from the hand of God, from Divine Mother.
