It sounds admirable, but we're not quite sure what a surrendered life looks like. But surrender is not actually something that we do, or can do. It can happen, but any effort to surrender is inevitably tainted with self-interest. One day, however, we may discover, to our great surprise and relief, that which is already surrendered. That which receives everything, but which doesn’t grasp onto anything."}
