Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 The grace of the universal self is always there. To make it simpler to understand. It is like electricity.It is always there to be tapped if we want to.

ALTHOUGH THE LORD IS ALL-PERVASIVE IT APPEARS, FROM PASSAGES LIKE "ADORNING HIM THROUGH HIS GRACE", THAT HE CAN BE KNOWN ONLY THROUGH HIS GRACE. HOW THEN CAN THE INDIVIDUAL SOUL BY ITS OWN EFFORTS ATTAIN SELF-REALIZATION IN THE ABSENCE OF THE LORD'S GRACE ?M. As the Lord denotes the Self and as Grace means the Lord'spresence or revelation, there is no time when the Lord remainsunknown. If the light of the sun is invisible to the owl it is only the fault of that bird and not of the sun. Similarly can theunawareness by ignorant persons of the Self which is always of thenature of awareness be other than their own fault? How can it be thefault of the Self? It is because Grace is of the very nature of the Lord that He iswell-known as `the blessed Grace'. Therefore the Lord, whosenature itself is Grace, does not have to bestow His Grace. Nor isthere any particular time for bestowing His Grace.--------anu------------------------ Sponsor --------------------~--> Make a clean sweep of pop-up ads.
