Text 57] The Lord’s Return to Jagannatha Puri 137

When one surrenders unto the lotus feet of the Lord, he does so with everything
in his possession —his house, his body, his mind and whatever else he possesses. If
there is any obstruction to this surrendering process, one should immediately give
it up without attachment. If one can surrender with all his family members, there
is no need to take sannydsa. However, if the surrendering process is hampered by
so-called family members, one should immediately give them up to complete the
surrendering process.
