What does "surrender" mean to you spiritually?
I am trying to compile views on surrender. Help me by your own views. It would be great to touch issues like, should it be forever? Should it be in SOS condition only? Is there a scope of reviewing it? and so on..
to begin with, as Tagore has said "Let thy will prevail"
Thanks.

well, for me the meaning of surrender spritually is giving your whole self including mental, physical, emotional and especially spiritual to the Supreme Being in Heaven which is our God Father. Surrender means let God be the center of your whole life, let Him manage everything forever. Trust Him in everything, and in everywhere no matter what happens. Surrender not only yourself but also your loveones and friends and all the materialistic thing here in the world coz only the God knows everything and the only owner of all thing. Let the Lord God lead and control your life. He loves you!!!!

Oh!
There is a problem! You happened to quote "Let thy will prevail".....!!
Well, for that , a person has to become 'choiceless', consciously, in total awareness, and also maintain it throughout, with a deep sense of acceptance, and then becoming available to the situation to use that person as needed by it. Such a state of action has a different dimension, dynamism about it. No residues at all ! And then "will will prevail" !!

What a considerate question, with many solid solutions already. i'm going to objective to function to the information already given. In my answer i'm going to apply the be conscious religious to point the non actual, whether at situations it style of feels to have a actual factor. As I realize it, interior the beginning up Our author created each and every thing in a non actual, religious, changeless, deathless actuality. lots of the souls had to offer different reports and had to chop up from The author. It develop into no longer achieveable to undo what the author had Created, whether it develop into achieveable to create an phantasm, a dream worldwide the place each and every thing is in consistent replace and not something is everlasting. the complication is once you have created a dream this is so actual - how do you awaken? So in spite of our dream, we are nevertheless as God Created us and we've an inkling that some thing greater could desire to be available to us, yet we could desire to evoke from the dream. How? we don't see ourselves as appropriate and we actually refuse to verify our fellow guy as appropriate. I actually have a e book that includes 365 workouts to help us understand our very own perfection. It would not make us appropriate, yet helps us understand our perfection already is. In our modern-day state, we are in a position to no longer understand or see the full photograph yet as we close to a real perception, The everlasting will awaken us.

It means to trust the universe and yourself that when the time comes to act you will do the right thing. I think in spiritual terms to surrender is to trust. The universe conspired to place me at this moment in time all that I know informs me of my choice. I surrender.

The Dalai Lama once said that the most understandable sign of subservience to a person's will is to get on your knees and bow your head to the floor.
Which is true, even from a naturalist perspective.

The basis of the whole thing. Christ said it like this "lose your life to find it." And "Let thy will be done."
It is the essence of the whole thing.
