How to Surrender To God?

How to Surrender To God?

A baby monkey clings to its mother. He knows he will be safe with his mother. Where, what, when, how, it leaves that decision-making to its mother. This is an example of surrender. A kitten does the same too but rather than clinging to its mother, it simply lets go. The mother picks it up and transports it to a safer place. The sharp teeth it uses to prey do not harm its own child. This is also surrendering. 

Both show surrender with one fundamental difference: in monkey's case, the onus is on the infant to cling to its mother or else there may be no protection. Whereas, in the case of a kitten, it is solely mother's responsibility. The kitten does not do anything.

So, should you be the monkey or the kitten? The answer is, be wise, discover your own method. Some feel more peaceful being the monkey while many act like the kitten. It may well be that you have to act like the monkey at times and kitten the other times.
