"I s v a r a p r a n i d h a n a"
शौच संतोष तपः स्वाध्यायेश्वरप्रणिधानानि नियमाः ॥32॥
– Yoga Sutras II.32
Is one of the NIYAMAs - individual disciplines or rules of conduct that apply to oneself, necessary for the practice of meditation and Samadhi.
It means dedication to the Lord of ones actions and will. Its complete surrender to God. He who has faith in God does not despair, he has illumination. In bhakti or true love there is no place for I and mine.
When the feeling of mine disappears, the individual soul has reached full growth.
