Īśvara Praṇidhāna: Surrender
What this observance asks is for us to accept life as it is, with the understanding that God is the “ruler of the kingdom” and God’s will is perfect. It is understanding that I belong to universal energy, you belong to universal energy, all life is not our own, but gifted by the universal energy. If that energy decides to remove itself from your body, down you crumble into a heap of decomposing rubbish.
