It is futile to fight our divine nature. Once we become aware of the battle between the drive of the ego for self-preservation and the uprising of the soul nature toward truth, surrender is the only real option.

Notice the emphasis placed on listening in the spiritual traditions-Krishna tells Arjuna, "Listen to my Supreme Word." Jesus says, "My sheep will hear my voice." The sacred Jewish prayer begins, "Hear O Israel." What is it to listen, to hear and become receptive, a vessel, an opening? Listen.

Our ability to surrender to God is directly related to mental and emotional maturity and a strong foundation of spiritual practice. Surrender can happen in a moment, but living a surrendered life is another matter. Take steps.

When we attempt to practice surrender we discover how fallible we are, how humanly inept in our ability to release ego's insistence on being separate, and yet we also discover that we cannot stop God from breaking down the barriers to love. Good news!
