"Surrender becomes so much easier when you..." - Quote by Eckhart Tolle
Surrender becomes so much easier when you realize the fleeting nature of all experiences and that the world cannot give you anything of lasting value. You then continue to meet people, to be involved in experience and activities, but without the wants and fears of the egoic self. That is to say, you no longer demand that a situation, person, place, or event should satisfy you or make you happy. It's passing and imperfect nature is allowed to be.

“When you are fully present with everyone you meet, you relinquish the conceptual identity you made for them - your interpretation of who they are and what they did in the past - and are able to interact without the egoic movements of desire and fear. Attention, which is alert stillness, is the key.”
“The moment you realize you are not present, you are present.”
“To have your attention in the Now is not a denial of what is needed in your life. It is recognition of what is primary.”

“What's real freedom? Real freedom is being able to not have my way and still be just as happy as if I did.”
“Surrender is surrender to this moment, not to a story through which you interpret this moment and then try to resign yourself to it.”
“I'm in love! Your advice, what are they? Love has poisoned me! Your remedies, what are they? I hear them shout: "fast, Bind him feet!" But if my heart that has gone mad! Those strings on my feet What is the point?”
