GOD IS ONLY A SURRENDER AWAY
GOD IS ONLY A SURRENDER AWAY asks a profound question:
What if reaching God did not require acquiring anything—but
surrendering the belief that anything was ever completely yours?
We spend our lives saying, “My house. My wealth. My business.
My position. My family. My success. My future,” and then spend
our lives protecting everything we call “mine.” With ownership
comes attachment, with attachment comes fear, and with the illusion
of complete control comes an enormous mental burden.
In GOD IS ONLY A SURRENDER AWAY, Dr. Abhishek Gilara explores one simple but powerful
idea: change the owner. You do not need to abandon your home, leave your business, give up ambition,
or stop earning, creating, leading or dreaming. Simply change your inner designation from
OWNER to CARETAKER. Let God remain the Owner, and then perform your karma with even
greater discipline. Take care of your body. Love your family. Build your business. Use wealth
responsibly. Lead ethically. Dream fearlessly. Work relentlessly. But surrender your claim over the
final outcome. Through simple examples of a trusting child, a responsible parent, a loyal employee,
a business owner, a divided car, a farmer sowing seeds and an archer releasing his arrow, this book
explores how surrender can become practical in everyday life. It asks us to discover a powerful balance:
work like everything depends upon your karma, but surrender knowing that everything never
depended upon you alone. Perhaps peace does not come when we finally control everything; perhaps
peace begins when we finally understand what was never ours to control. And perhaps having
God does not require years of searching—the decision can happen in one second: “God, nothing is
mine. Everything is Yours. Let me be a worthy caretaker.” One second to surrender. A lifetime to
live it.
