In surrender to God, should the main feeling be bhakti or samarpan?

Surrender is the main feeling

The main feeling in sharanagati (taking refuge in God) is samarpan, complete surrender: body, mind and speech given to Him. Outer signs of bhakti done without taking yourself to be God's, with a wish to get something from Him, are not that feeling.

We belong to Shri Bhagwan. All of this belongs to Shri Bhagwan. 'Lord, all wealth is Yours; I, with my son and wife, am Your servant.' Complete surrender is then the yoga of bhakti.
