Guest guest Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 What is the difference between " bhagwat kripa " (God's grace, mercy, compassion, favor, kindness, forgiveness) and " Sant kripa " (Saint's grace, mercy, compassion, favor, kindness, forgiveness)? RAMCHANDRA -------------- NEW POSTING Dear Sadhakas, Namaste! None! Bhagwat Kripa(Grace) is Sant(Saints) Kripa. Bhagwaan is Saint-hood! Bhagwaan incarnates to meet with saints as Lord Rama did, during his 14 years in forest. Saints and Sages of our time like Ramakrishna, Ramana Maharshi, Swami Ramsukhdasji and the likes are representatives of God. A Friend who shows up with unconditional Love, and helps us in our need is Bhagwaan only for us for that situation in our life! This is one of the ways He blesses us by inspiring someone to help us, sometime, without our asking! If we care enough to see, every ordinary situation is an opportunity to feel God's Presence! Saints and Sages shower Grace equally to all, we just need to get wet! Finally one realizes Grace is God, just as Sun-light is SUN, not two! Namaskar..........Pratap Bhatt --------------- There is no difference. Saint's Kripa or Devils' Kripa or Society's Kripa are all God' Kripa. Nothing exists that is not God. It is God's Kripa that we distinguish among the Grace of God and Grace of any others: it is God's Kripa that we realize that saints or any other living or non-living being or any other element that we identify are nothing but different form in which God has filled His Creation and merged Himself with the Creation. Its God's Grace that you seek answers and we respond in different ways. basudeb sen -------------- Priy Sadhak Gods grace is like sunlight & siants grace is convex lense to concentrate it. Hari chandan sant vayu to spread his essence thanx Raja Gurdasani -------------- OM! Bhagwat Kripa is the way to liberation whereas sant kripa is the way board(i.e.showing the way) to liberation. OM! Bhuvangiri Badri Kishore --------------- Dear Sadaks, Sant Kripa at once the effect takes place. But Bagavan Kripa takes place depending on ones mind, behavior Etc. Similarly if a sant is insulted, the punishment is also at once. If one abuses Bagavan, the punishment is very much delayed like in the case of that Sisubala or some times not totally punished. If examples required I can post number of them. Jai Sri Krishna B.Sathyanarayan ---------------- Dear Sadhak-Insight Grace is a special subject God's garce is sponteneous coming without our knowledge Sant's blessing will be known to us He will show grace in your very presence Ultimately its effect will be the same.Guru is in the form of God and hence we can not distingwish When lord Vishnu was going on Garuda hen one kingdom was passing by At that Garuda told lord Vishnu to give a son to the kingdon on which they were passingby .Lord Vishnu told Garuda that there is nothing for the King. Lord Vishnu told Garuda that you as my devotee can allot a sun to this king. Garuda blessed the King and he got a sun.This is the example in which God's devotee can also give blessings to others I am writing my experiences Truly yours Shankerprasad S Bhatt ----------------------- It is very difficult for an ordinary person to realise God. Therefore it will be proper if we approach God through a God realised person and become his disciple. The Guru is the Sant, Saint or Master and whatever kripa we receive through him is God's grace. So there is no difference between the two. HariShanker Deo -------------- GITA TALK GROUP GUIDELINES: PLEASE - FOR QUESTIONER 1.
