They all invite their followers to surrender to God. Surrender is far more than obedience, acceptance of theological beliefs and observance of formal religious practices. Surrender is about &#8220;control&#8221;: who controls our life and behavior? When we surrender to God, we take control away from the &#8220;ego&#8221; (lower self) that confines us- makes us feel &#8220;special&#8221; and superior to everyone else, and creates tension in our heart and with the outside world.
