There are two types:
One is meek - It is inaction. Its a state of apathy, where you submit yourself to fate.
Positive surrendering:
When you don't get what you desired, Thank the Divine, for giving it to someone who needed more than you. Here, you are accepting that the Divine can give the result as per his wish.
When you have got, what you desired, then pray for others - whose desires are unfulfilled.
Your thanking heals your ego.
Your thanking will motivate you to further action.
Your thanking the Divine will make your surrender total.
Surrendering is accepting to try again, with a positive thanking attitude.
It will help you to look at the event from a different and a higher angle.
It replaces inaction. Surrendering is action.
Open up to yourself to the grace of the Divine by being thankful always.
