Premanand Maharaj Ji
Why does real surrender often happen only in great trouble?
Pure surrender comes when no one else is left
Comfort binds us to family, wealth, body and pleasures, so surrender does not come in comfort. When every path closes and no one is ours, we turn wholly to Bhagwan.
When all paths look closed and a heavy calamity comes, then pure surrender happens, feeling that now no one is ours.
