what is surrender?


The process of taking shelter is described in the Vaiṣṇava-tantra—
ānukūlyasya saṅkalpaḥ prātikūlya-vivarjanam

rakṣiṣyatīti viśvāso goptṛtve varaṇaṁ tathā

ātma-nikṣepa-kārpaṇye ṣaḍ-vidhā śaraṇāgatiḥ

Translation: Accepting that which is favorable, rejecting the unfavorable, believing that Krishna will save me, accepting Krishna as one’s maintainer, self-surrender and humility are the six types of sharanagati.

Bhaktivinode Thakur—
bhakti anukūla jāhā tāhāi svīkāra
bhakti pratikūla saba kari parihāra
kṛṣṇa bai rakṣā-kartā āra keha nāi
kṛṣṇa se pālana more karibena bhāi
āmi āmāra jata kichu kṛṣṇe nivedana
niṣkapaṭa dainya kari jīvana yāpana

Translation: Accept whatever is favorable for devotion; reject everything that is inimical to devotion. There is no protector other than Krishna. O brother! Krishna will protect me. I offer myself and everything I possess to Krishna. I go through life with sincere humility
