Surrender must develop automatically within you
The easiest and surest means to achieve the goal is to surrender yourself to the great Master and become a 'living dead' yourself. This feeling of surrender, if cultivated by forced or mechanical means, seldom proves to be genuine. It must develop automatically within you, without least strain or pressure upon the mind. If the knowledge of self is retained, even then it is not true surrender.
