Transcendence of the Self

Can self-transcendence be achieved through self-effort? 

Surley self-effort is an expression of that self which needs transcending!

Would not the surer way to self-transcendence be self-surrender to the transcendent?

The paradox is this: truly transcencent effort is selfless, not concerned for the self!
