Sharanagati
शरणागति
/ʃʌ.rʌ.ɳaː.gʌ.tɪ/
Sharanagati is total surrender to the divinity within you, the laying down of the puny separate life at the feet of the infinite. Sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja: abandon all duties, take refuge in Me alone. Ramana says sharanagati itself is moksha. Not eighty-five percent, not 99.999 percent: that equals zero. One hundred percent. When name and form are released, what shines is the only doer. Drop the coconut; give the mind.
