What is Grace?
By Baba Shuddhaanandaa Brahmachari
(for the full article and multimedia Experience, see OM-Times Magazine April 2010 Edition)
Grace is the power which gives you the ability and will to ask “What is Grace?”! Grace is perennial. It is eternal like a flowing river.
Whether you know it or not, deserve it or not, are conscious about it or not,
YOU are bathed in Grace from the birth to the death and beyond. Your existence is soaked in Grace. Your love is Grace in manifestation.
Even when you are blinking your eyes, it is also possible due to Divine Grace, for you don’t have the power to do that. Your heart beats a hundred thousand times a day by Grace and the rhythm of Grace.
I don’t see anything that is not Grace. Even from that point of view, sufferance is also Grace. It is through sufferance that a soul comes to realize the fragility of the material pleasures.
Then a time comes when the soul longs to know about the Grace and pines for the Grace.
And prays, meditates, forgives, loves, realizes the Oneness that is the reality. Grace thus is God’s love for all of creations.
Oh! I do not know what not Grace is!
Love overflowing and this is also Grace.
~Baba
