Surrendering to the Guru is religious means, sticking to the guru is sticking to ignorance.

Sticking to ignorance means sticking to the dualistic illusion or Maya. Sticking to the dualistic illusion or Maya means accepting the unreality as a reality.

There is no need to surrender the ego because you are the ego. Without the ego, the world in which you exist ceases to exist. The ego is the basis of the world in which you exist. The ego, you, and the world appear together and disappear together.

Surrender is the religious and yogic fable. How can the ego surrender to itself? How can the ego surrender to the religious God, which is not God in actuality?

All such claims are possible only in the domain of the form, time, and space. In reality, no second thing exists other than the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. When there is no second thing, then surrender to what?. 

Remember:~

The ego is the basis of the world in which you exist. The ego alone cannot be discarded. The ego is present along with the body and the world. The ego, body, and the world appear together and disappear together. The ego, body, and the world in which you exist are the dualistic illusion.

The ego, body, and the world in which you exist are the product of ignorance. Only when ignorance vanishes the ego, body and the world fades away as one essence.

Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is necessary to realize knowledge of the single stuff. The knowledge of the single stuff frees the Soul, the innermost Self from the cage of ignorance.

If you are seeking the truth then do not mix up religion and yogic fables drop all accumulated garbage to realize the truth, which is beyond the form, time, and space. :~Santthosh Kumaar
