Om Swami
How can surrender help me let go of unwanted thoughts and habits?
Surrender what you don't want to keep
Surrender, as meditation shows it, is surrendering all undesirable thoughts. It does not mean surrendering everything to God in your thoughts or actions by saying "you are the doer."
My definition of surrender, the one you get from meditation, is being able to surrender all undesirable thoughts, to let go of what you don't want to keep.
