Prapatti - Surrender

Surrender to God has a catch. What are you going to surrender? Will it be of any use to God? Does God need the things that you surrender to Him? If he needs these , then He is a needy person like any of us. Further to surrender everything you must meet God, who then is a personalised entity like you , occupying a place in space and so becomes limited .So then there must be a depth meaning to this word surrender which is free from all these confusions.God here is Iswara who is present in this creation as several orders called Dharma. To conform to the Dharma and to perform our allotted tasks is Surrender. To accept the results of these tasks as a prasada (grace) from Iswara is what is suggested.
