Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 18: Freedom through Renunciation

Bhagavad Gita 18.62

तमेव शरणं गच्छ सर्वभावेन भारत । तत्प्रसादात्परां शान्तिं स्थानं प्राप्स्यसि शाश्वतम् ॥

tameva śaraṇaṃ gaccha sarvabhāvena bhārata | tatprasādātparāṃ śāntiṃ sthānaṃ prāpsyasi śāśvatam ||

Take refuge in him alone, Arjuna, with your whole being. By his grace you will attain supreme peace and the eternal abode.

Modern context

Take refuge in him alone, with your whole being. By his grace you will find supreme peace. After all the analysis, the answer is surrender: not giving up, but giving oneself wholly to what is highest. 'With your whole being' means not just the mind, or just the heart, but everything. Peace comes not from solving every problem but from resting in what holds all problems.
