Page 182 - Ecstasy and Agony in the Journey to Infinity

Perfect state of nychyanusandaanamu is a very high state. If however we miss this, and we move on to a state of uparati, that is fortitude, we are transported to the state of surrender with the help of the Master.
Satata smarana if you can develop earlier you can go up to Prapanna, where as you do not develop Satata smarana there and you think that you are still person to do something, and are prepared to accept everything as fortitude, you have not denied yourself your ‘self’. I am prepared to put up with the suffering, where as in the constant remembrance, if it is backed by nychyanusandaanamu, there is no question of self effort. You resign yourself to the will of the God. So one goes from uparati to saranatva. If you miss that also, you get upeksha (endurance).
