What are the symptoms of atma-nivedana ?

Hare Krsna

Please accept my humble obeisance. All glories to Srila Prabhupada

To surrender everything to Krishna is called Atma-nivedana. The symptoms of Atma-nivedana are to become free from all selfish endeavour and to dovetail all endeavours for Krishna’s pleasure, just as apurchased cow does not endeavour for her own maintenance. One should also remain subordinate to Krishna’s will and surrender one’s independence to Him.
