Sree Sree Guru Gaurangau Jayatah!
The moment we shall submit to Sri Krishna unconditionally, all our ills and sufferings will go. A completely surrendered soul has got no separate desire of his own. He is happy in whatever circumstance he is put by the will of his beloved Supreme Master.
Sharanagati is six-fold. We are to practice it as follows:
(1) We are to accept all that is congenial for pure devotion.
(2) Give up all that is not congenial.
(3) We should have firm faith that Sri Krishna will protect us under all circumstances from outside foes and inside foes (passions).
(4) He is the only Sustainer and Maintainer of our real and apparent selves.
(5) We should know that we belong to Him, i.e., we are His (atma-nivendana).
(6) We should give up all material egos-we should think that we are spiritual sparks, minutest parts of the marginal potency (tatastha shakti) of Supreme Lord Sri Krishna, i.e., we should not have mundane vanities. We should be humbler than a blade of grass.
A completely surrendered soul has no cause for being worried under any circumstance in this most transitory world. Supreme Lord Sri Krishna always protects and sustains a bona fide surrendered soul. According to our karma, we get congenial and uncongenial environments. Nobody is to be blamed for this.
