The Sufi Path is a process of amanesis (remembrance, realization). In pre-eternity, God asked the spirits: Alastu bi Rabikum (Am I not your Lord)? When we come into this material existence, we forget about pre-eternity and the task of life is to remember our way back to the truth concerning the nature of our essential relationship with God. This process of remembering or recollecting is known as amanesis.

If I may be so bold, Al Hakim Ibn Abduallah, I find the opposite of what you say to be equally as true, many adopt the term "muslim" ~ without any hint of what surrender is.
How can I say I know "I've surrendered", when I don't even know myself? Allah is the One Who Knows if you have surrendered or not, you should ask Him if you are a muslim or a sufi.
