In Zen practice, to gain is to lose, to lose is to gain.
To let everything go is to gain it all.

{True zazen is surrendering every moment.} But surrendering to what?
It really does not matter what we call it: God or the Tao or the Dharma or the Buddha or our true nature. They are all concepts anyway.
It is the act of letting go, of surrendering, that matters.
The very act of letting go opens us up completely.
