Grace via Ramana, Evelyn and Kevin

[Guest guest]

Grace always "IS."Grace is ever-existing, ever-flowing.Sri Ramana

Maharshi says:Ocean of nectar, full of grace.Grace is the Self. You

are never out of its operation. Grace isalways there. You are

neck-deep in it and yet you cry for grace. Itis as if one neck-deep

in water should feel thirsty.That which exists is grace, it is always

there, it is available to alland it fills the entire universe since it

is existence itself.That which eternally "IS", is "I am" and it is the

inmost natureof all and so is available to all, at all times. This

pure "I am" ineveryone of us is grace.Grace is the beginning, middle

and end. Grace is the Self.Grace always "is" and is not given.God,

grace and guru are the one innermost essence ofawareness, which is

revealed or experienced when attachmentto all forms is broken.God,

grace and guru are all synonymous and also eternal andimmanent.Grace

is within you. If it is external it is useless.Grace is constant.

Grace is always there. You are never out of its operation.Is there a

moment when grace is not operating in you? Yourremembrance is the

forerunner of grace. That is the response,that is the stimulus, that

is the Self and that is grace.Grace and God are not different.People

come and tell me that I must grant them grace. They seem to think

that grace is something which I keep under lock and key.Grace is

another name for God. All that we need do is to keep ourheart open so

that guru's grace may flow in as sunshine throughan open window.Grace

is the Self. That also is not to be acquired, you only need to know

that it exists. Grace is already within, it is that whichalways

exists.Grace is within every human being. It is the state of true

being,true awareness devoid of otherness. It is the Self.Just like a

mother who feeds her sleeping child even without thechild knowing

that it is being fed, the grace of pure divineSelf enters our hearts

in a manner which cannot be known by useven if we have the most

subtle and powerful of intellects, andthereby, His grace informs us

and brings about the destructionof our mind. Ah! His grace is beyond

all limits and cannot begauged by anyone.
