If you remember Bhagavan...

[Guest guest]

Maharshi:

As for Grace, -

Grace is within you.

If it is external it is useless.

Grace is the Self.

You are never out of its operation.

Grace is always there.

 

Disciple:

I mean that when I remember your form, my mind should be strenghtened

and that reponse should come from your side too. I should not be left to my

individual efforts which are after all only weak.

 

Maharshi:

Grace is the Self I have already said, "If you remember Bhagavan, you are

prompted to do so by the Self."

Is not Grace already there?

Is there a moment when Grace is not operating in you?

Your remembrance is the forerunner of Grace.

That is the reponse, that is the stimulus, that is the Self and that is Grace.

There is no cause for anxiety.
