ISHWAR PRANIDHANDVA
IN ADDITION TO (THINGS MENTIONED IN PREVIOUS SUTRAS)SURRENDERING TO THE ISHWAR(WILL LEAD TO SAMADHI)
We were told various things to do so as to achieve the Samadhi.In this Sutra we are told that in addition to doing all the other things, we need to surrender to the GOD. But this need to be done in our day to day life , or even minute to minute existence.There are 4 languages as described in our scripture. These are PARA , PASHYNTI, MADHYAMA AND VAIKHARI. When we speak a word, it is VAIKHARI.But before a word is produced by the 'speaking apparatus', there has to be a thought and and a wave etc in the mind and the rest of the languages that I mentioned are what is stated in our scripture. So when we do the chanting or JAPA, or when we mediate with a Mantra being repeated , we are ;engaging' in GOD surrendering. But we need to do this all the time . If we do an activity at a work place , we must think about the GOD and offer it to him . If we cook , we should do it for him and so on. So our every activity , our every thought our every movement must be thought to be for HIM . This is 'unconditional surrender'. we 'thank' the God when something good happens to us and then are unhappy or 'blame' God when thing don't go our way, This is not Surrendering.That is conditional surrendering. So when we want something from God, we are praying or doing JAPA, and when we are doing OK then we don't even think of HIM. We need to do surrendering WITH BODY(KAYA),SPEECH(WACHA) AND MIND(MANASA).
