Is it possible for us as ego to surrender ourself entirely?

In this episode Michael James answers the question: “In verse 2 of Patikam [Śrī Aruṇācala Padigam], Bhagavan talks about total surrender (thy will be done). However, the more one surrenders, the more difficult it appears to be to take that final leap. Is total surrender possible at all with the ego still intact in some form?”
