Gurudev, how do we come into a state of surrender or non-doership?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Stop thinking and trying to differentiate too much between doership and non-doership. Whenever you do anything, just do it 100% and be totally immersed in it with all your heart and mind. And once the work is done, you must also take equally deep rest. What do we usually do? When we are resting, then too we go on thinking about what we have to do, and when we are working, we keep thinking, “Oh! There is so much work. I need to rest. I need to rest”. When you work this way, then you can neither work properly, nor are you able to take proper rest. So you lose out in both aspects.
