Surrender is to give oneself up to the original source of one's being. Do not delude yourself by imagining such source to be some God outside you.
One's source is within oneself. Give yourself up to it. That means that you should seek the source and merge in it.

The greatest obstacle to enlightenment is getting past your delusion that you are not already enlightened.

It's so funny. It's all a joke.
You are free, pure Consciousness right now.
But you have to feel this.
There's nothing you have to do, for you are already That;
beautiful, happy, fulfilled, complete, absolute.
It's wonderful.
You are absolutely free right now.
You were never born and you can never die.
YOU ARE THE ONE. Right Now. FEEL IT.
Wake up! Know yourself.
You are the source.
The source has always been you.
When you know this, it makes you feel so good, you laugh hysterically.
You will laugh in joy and ecstasy, that you are the One.

In enjoyments, there is the fear of disease;
In social position, the fear of falling off;
In wealth, the fear of hostile kings;
In honour, the fear of humiliation;
In power, the fear of enemies;
In beauty, the fear of old age;
In scholarship, the fear of learned opponents;
In virtue, the fear of slander;
In body, the fear of death.
- (Vairagya Shatakam 31)
All the things in the world are associated with fear.
Detachment alone leads to fearlessness.

The eye through with I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and god's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.

At the center of your being you have the answer;
you know who you are and you know what you want.

There is only one place to look for God: in the heart of a true lover.

I am not keeping you from having the things of this world.
I am keeping the world from having you.

Now I am sober,
and there's only the hang over and the memory of love...

We all face death in the end. But on the way, be careful never to hurt a human heart!
