What is Guru's Grace ? How does it work ?

[Guest guest]

D : What is Guru's Grace ? How Does it work ?

 

M : Guru is the Self.

 

D : How does it lead to realisation ?

 

M : Isvaro gururatmeti ... ( God is the same as Guru and Self ... ).

A person begins with dissatisfaction . Not content with the world he seeks

satisfaction of desires by prayers of God; his mind is purified; he longs to

know God more than to satisfy his carnal desires. Then God's Grace begins to

manifest. God takes the form of a Guru and appears to the devotee; teaches him

the Truth; purifies the mind by his teachings and contact; the mind gains

strength, is able to turn inward; with meditation it is purified yet further,

and eventually remains still without the least ripple. That stillness is the

Self. The Guru is both exterior and interior. From the exterior he gives a push

to the mind to turn inward; from the interior he pulls the mind towards the Self

and helps the mind to achieve quietness. That is Grace.

Hence there is no differance between God, Guru and Self.
