Tameva Prapadye .. (Chapter 15 - Shlokam 4)
MEANING : I surrender unto You ..
Sharanam Aham Prapadye .. I surrender unto You .. I take refuge in You .. This is unique aspect of Hindu Dharma .. It is not same as slavery or bondage .. There are glaring differences , though both may appear same on the exterior .. Slavery is enforced .. Surrender is voluntary .. The weak is enslaved .. Very strong willed one surrenders .. Allurement for money and other doles and fear of the whip are enslaving factors .. The money thrown by the master at the slave and the whip he raise are the bonds which strengthen slavery .. There are no such bonds for the surrendered .. He is totally independent and liberated , though he has surrendered .. His needs are taken care of by the Master , but he is not concerned or worried on this front .. Slavery is akin to a trade agreement , though not mutual .. Surrender is an expression of Love .. of Devotion .. There is no emotional relationship between the slave and the master .. If at all a relationship develops , it is one of anger , frustration and contempt .. There is a firm relationship between the surrendered and the Master , relationship based on Love , Devotion and Faith .. The slave wants to and tries to get out of the bondage of slavery whenever he realizes his enslaved state .. The surrendered wishes to sustain his state of surrender .. The slave's mind is filled with grief .. Slavery is a grievous state .. The mind of surrendered is filled with Joy and ecstasy .. His state of Surrender is a Joyous state ..
Surrender is always to a Noble , benevolent body .. The God , a great ideal or an organization working towards a glorious Ideal .. Rarely , surrender may be to a great Person , Pure in heart , absolutely unselfish , .. Slavery is always to a human or an organization run by humans who are ruthless , manipulative , exploitative , powerful and utterly selfish ..
