Surrender must be complete without reservations
To all of you I say, "Let mountains fall; let the sea overwhelm the land; but, do not give up your saadhana. And, remember, saadhana is a waste, unless you grow at the same time in virtue and uprightness."
If you give up all and surrender to the Lord, He will guard you and guide you. When you complain, "Oh! He has not guarded me," I reply, "You have not surrendered." The Lord has come just for this very task. He is declaring that He will do so, that is the very task that has brought Him!
Of course, you only talk of Sharanam (surrender), of placing all at the Feet; but you withhold a great deal.
Your minds are wayward like monkeys that skip and jump from bough to branch. Give them to Me; I can make them steady and harmless. When I say, sit, they will sit; when I say, stand, they Stand. That is what Shankaraacharya offered to do, he told Shiva that he will hand over the monkey that was his mind to Him so that it might be tamed and used for His delight. But, it must be a complete handing over; no reservations.
