God Reveals His Presence with Grace!

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

Everything that we are and have is a gift from Him, including the very

desire to write about His Grace. Grace is the human dharma - knowing

one's strength and apply it most efficiently to benefit everyone.

Human dharma includes also knowing the rules of nature and giving the

due respect. Human dharma demands one to act appropriately when anyone

else makes an attempt to break the rules of nature. It is God's grace

that maintains the nature in order and in balance.

 

The human being is a strange creature - the combination of Atman

(infinite soul without attributes) and body- mind- intellect (finite

physical attributes). Our overindulging attention on body, mind and

intellect is the cause for the blurred vision of Atman. We need His

grace to discard those illusionary perceptions of body, mind and

intellect to correct our vision. Due to His grace we are able to

recognize the vision problem and will get the necessary remedy.

 

Grace is essentially a gift from Him and that too without asking! God

bestows it freely for ever without a formal request from us. Grace

can never be created but it is our recognition of our role. The more

we open our heart the more we can see. For example, Positive Mental

Attitude is always in our heart and it is up to us take it and use it.

It seems that we just hide this great gift of God and pretend that it

doesn't exist. Goodness, kindness, compassion, spontaneity, etc. are

also His gifts permanently stored in infinite magnitude within our

heart. Whenever we witness an act of kindness or compassion, His

presence is inevitable! Those who want see Him and gets His Grace

needs to just open their hearts!

 

Warmest regards,

Note: In Ramayana, Lord Ram was asked by Sage Valmiki to come to

his Ashram to help him to complete a Yagna. When the sages of

the Ashram heard about Sri Ram's arrival, everyone wanted him stay

with them. Tulasidas beautifully describes where Sri Ram will likely

stay. He says that Lord Ram will stay only in those hearts where

there is plenty of kindness, compassion and other good qualities. Lord

doesn't need any space to stay but he stays always permnantly in

everyone's hearts!
