And only once

Surrender will keep you thinking of God all the time. In the Bhagavatam - Hindu epic - there is a verse wherein a Gopi disciple of Krishna says, 'I am not able to think of anything other than Krishna. I have surrendered my mind to Him. If I have to think of anything else, I will have to take back my mind from Him. How can I?'

Ramakrishna Paramahamsa suffered from cancer. He has healed many people of many diseases. Someone asked him, 'Why can't you keep your mind on your own disease for a moment and heal it?' He replied, 'I have surrendered my mind to Parashakti - The Infinite Energy. How can I take it back to keep it on my disease?' This is true surrender.
