Premanand Maharaj Ji
What does it mean to surrender to God?
Gajendra: surrender when every support is gone
Real surrender comes when every other road is closed and only God's road is open. Gajendra called on God only after all his own efforts failed, and then God came.
He fought on his own for a thousand years. When the elephants left him and the crocodile dragged him into the water, he had no strength left in himself.
