The concept of surrender is one of the few things that is given the highest respect in all religious traditions. And it is also one of the most elusive concepts in spirituality, almost as elusive as the concept of Maya. Though the concept of Maya has been dealt with in lot of detail by several great Indian philosophers, the concept of surrender has not been so fortunate. This is also because surrender is more important in the tradition of Bhakti (path of emotion) whereas most of the philosophers are more inclined towards Jnana (path of knowledge). Many of the great philosophers in India have also been equally great bhaktas, but for some reason they choose not to show their emotional side in public.
