32nd Sutra Ch 2: 5th Niyama: Isvara Pranidhana With lsvara pranidhana, self surrender to the divine, comes total surrender of the ego-sense. As the ego dissolves, the fears, the doubts, the worries, the expectations dissolve. If there is lsvara pranidhdna, one is in constant samadhi. —————————————————— शौचसंतोषतपःस्वाध्यायेश्वरप्रणिधानानि नियमाः shauchasantoshatapahsvadhyayeshvarapranidhanani niyamah ·       shaucha - internal and external purification ·       santosha - contentment ·       tapah - self-discipline ·       svadhyay - self-study ·       eshvara pranidhanani - self-surrender ·       niyamah - observances -----------------------------
