Synopsis
Prapatti is the idea that "I am at His disposal and that He does His work, I am just a tool in His hands". The word is derived as follows: "Pra+ – "pat" + "ktin" = "Prapatti". A practitioner of "Prapatti" does not see difference between "sorrow" and "joy' and accepts both with equanimity,
The opposite feeling of Prapatti is "viprapatti". Here a person feels it is "I" who does everything – and no one else.
