| 199 爱心虔诚之道上，交托（surrender）的过程有什么不同的阶段？ |
| |
Nov 25, 2011: In the path of loving devotion, what are the different stages in surrender? Swami explains and persuades us to progress inward.
There are three types of Surrender (Saranagathi). The first one is Thavai-vaaham, where the devotee affirms “I am Yours”, the second is Mamai-vathwam, where one asserts “You are mine” and the last is, Thwame-vaaham which means “You and I are one.” Each is a step that leads to the other and the last is the ultimate state. In the first stage, Thav-eva-aham, the Lord is completely free and the devotee is fully bound. Just like the cat and the kitten - the cat shifts the new born kitten about, as it wills; the kitten just mews and accepts whatever happens. This attitude is very gentle and is within easy reach of everyone. In the second, Mama-eva-thwam, the devotee binds the Lord in his heart and the Lord willingly remains bound. A devotee can tie up the Lord with Prema (love) that overwhelms and overpowers one’s own egoism. When one has this type of devotion (Bhakthi), the grace of the Lord fulfills every single need of the devotee.

| “交托（Saranagathi：臣服、皈依）”有三种，第一种是Thavai-vaaham ── 信徒对主说：“我是您的”，第二种是Mamai-vathwam ──“您是我的”，最后一种是Thwame-vaaham，意思是“尔与我一而不二”。每一种都代表一个次第（阶段），依序进入下一个次第（阶段），最后那种则是究竟之境。在第一个阶段中，Thav-eva-aham，上主完全自由，信徒则完全受缚，就像母猫和小猫，母猫随自己之意，衔着刚出生的小猫移来移去，小猫只是喵喵的叫，而接受一切。这种态度，非常温和，人人都可轻易做到。在第二个阶段，Mama-eva-thwam，信徒将主缚于心中，而主愿意受缚。信徒能用Prema（神性之爱）把主绑住，这种神性之爱，能压倒一个人的我执。当一个人有了这种型式的虔诚时，神恩会满足他的一切所需。
