To renounce the mentality that "I am the doer" and to accept Krishna as one's sole maintainer are the symptoms of a surrendered soul.

Surrendered souls do not need to think themselves in charge. If we become dependent on the daughter of Vrisabhanu, then no insignificant pride in the activities of this world will capture our hearts. Unless we develop the pride that we are Krishna's servants, we cannot fully surrender or take complete shelter. Without complete surrender, we will naturally become proud to be called "father" or "doer."
