The process of surrender is an ongoing process. We should never foolishly think we have surrendered once and for all. This pride can become the greatest obstacle on our path. Surrender is not something that occurs at a particular point in time; it is a way of life. Krishna says, “As they surrender unto Me, I reward them accordingly.” Surrender, followed by Krishna’s reciprocation, is an ever-increasing process. Therefore, we must always feel the impetus to continue the surrendering process and then take every opportunity to take shelter of the Supreme Authority. That is the only way we will receive the Lord’s full protection.
