If I understand correctly, surrender and letting go means not having any longings?
In a way, I think so but it's tricky to discuss because of the duality of language. So let me use specific examples rather than talk theoretically and generally.

Suppose you believe it is very important in life to treat other people with decency, say that you have been taught and believe that God loves us equally. This is not too hard to imagine if you believe in God and especially a loving God. In this what you become a person who is morally oriented to doing good by other people and want to argue that point as a virtue to, say believe in getting anything they can get by any means available, who could care less who they hurt to get that. How to you prove there is a loving God. How do you make an argument that is irrefutable, that can't be denied? I believe that if you are honest you can't, not even to yourself and so the result becomes that love and hate are equal, there is no good or evil, all things are permissible, as you mentioned with Dostoevsky. And the result is tremendous existential suffering. Everything ones soul yearned for is empty of meaning. The wind blows where it blows and doesn't care about anything.

This is being driven off a cliff by a tiger to see another below. No exit, no escape, no hope. So all of this is because we are fixated, we need proof of our ideals, we want to bring the force of reason into the equation and all is futility. All our longing but empty dreams, tears shed in the rain. There is only the dark abyss. So you let go and fall in. You surrender and die to will. When all ones efforts to hold on collapse and that intense focus is released, the mind can open to other things, one of which is that to love is all that matters. It is by being that God whatever expresses. The kingdom of heaven isn't in a logical proof somewhere, it is with us. There is nowhere to go, nothing to do, nothing to become, nothing to prove. Those who are, know.

This is an incredibly sexist, vulgar, obsessive and ignorant post. I expect nothing less from your ilk, however. Allow me fo further clarify for you and your other cohort’s previous post; your parents gave up on you long ago, but I’ll give it the old college try.

Our friend Trump is not the master of syntax and verbal eloquence, clearly, and thus the likes of you take every word of his literally because you are intellectually deficient and incapable of thinking in the abstract. When he said there were “good folks on both sides” what he was referring to was the fact that not everyone there standing in opposition of the removal of statues was of the supremacy persuasion. You see, liberalism - synonymous with Marxism in its new wave form thanks to balkanizers like yourself - truly is an illness, and there is no satiety, thus a slippery slope.

. What I see are sleeping machines. Everybody is driven by the unconscious assumptions they make and there is no such thing as justified moral blame. Those who deflect blame from themselves to others and those who place blame on those who do not live responsible can’t be blamed for anything. You can’t blame people who are in a dream state for how they act in their sleep. The sacredness of those sacred cows does not exist. They died when I did.

I have read content similar to above from you, previously as well. Ah....what can I say. I only wish I had that level of compassion. Instead I judge, internally. I do not know how does one get to the above level - especially when it comes to people who you have had personal experiences with, sometimes very painful.

Yes well, just because my worldview leads to such conclusions doesn't mean I personally achieve them. But if you believe that no blame can accrue to sleeping machine, you will have to apply the same acceptance of inevitability to yourself so long as the unconscious bias you operate under remains in the unconscious. All I can offer is a change in attitude from blame to objective emotional indifference, to make that effort philosophically or intellectually so as to feed the beast as little as one can muster. It helps to loosen our grip on the cliff, I think.
