THE TRUE MEANING OF SURRENDER

Asanti Grisolmn • May 12, 2022

Surrender is often considered as the act of yielding to another when forced or compelled to do so. It is an act of giving in to the will of others and accepting defeat after much resistance. It means relinquishing or abandoning your rights in favour of others. However the true act of surrender is the relinquishment of your control to the universe and to a higher power. True surrender is the surrender of your free will only to surrender to the flow of the divine. 


Negative emotions, societal influence, fairness, generational curses, conditioned behavioral patterns and free will are all things that can be surrendered and when we surrender to a higher power we allow ourselves to be redirected and heavily guided on our life paths. Make no mistake, we will be all the merrier as you’ll find we’ll reach our destination a lot sooner than expected because we’ve allowed our divine guidance to lead us, factoring out any and all unnecessary distractions. No longer are we free to make the wrong decisions and attract negative consequences that impede on our success. The surrender means taking a back seat and allowing the universe to take charge.


What Surrendering Truly is


While surrender is seen as an act of defeat or submission to authority, It is more of acceptance or humility. It refers to the approval of pain, disappointment, limitations, and imperfection. It makes us reflect on ourselves and is the fastest way to connect with our higher selves. It helps us conform to our more profound wisdom, and awaken to the knowledge of what we cannot control. It helps us build that unity and connection with divine source and maintain a stable life.


While most Individuals might consider surrender as the abdication of responsibility, it is more so an abdication of our need for control, for we can control nothing. It’s choosing a smoother path in life rather than forcing our way through it. This helps us to acknowledge our imperfect nature. It is an act of self-love that allows us to secure our freedom.


Surrender is an act of maturation and a key to positive change that helps us to create everlasting peace. It’s the dismantlement of loneliness and self-chaos. It is a form of hope and often gives relief, creating space for change. It is a choice that helps us secure our freedom and can be a difficult choice for people with solid self-will and pride.


Surrendering aids us in the process of forgoing separateness, duality, and certainty and helps us build ourselves to a more significant correction. With this act, we have chosen to be personally responsible by choosing not to force things. It is an act of self-love as we abandon the fight with life and start working with it. 


To let go of control and begin trusting the process is trusting the creator and the universe to guide you exactly where you need to be without fear or resistance to change. Rather It’s a constant adaptation to the changes set before you knowing that even if you walk blindly, your stepping stone will be clear as day. When we exercise our free will we actually are resisting change and delay our long awaited achievements. Let go of control and embrace surrender.
