Chamundaji, Grace is not darshan. Nor is it help.

 

Rather, I think that, by our own efforts we can only go so far. The

last jump can only be made by Gods grace. We have to do 90%, God does

the last 10%.

 

This grace is not our right, neither is it some mechanical process

that automatically occurs once we have put in the required effort.

 

Grace is given completely at Gods mercy- else it couldnt be called

grace. It is given to us when the Spirit decides we have grown

spiritually, & are now ready to progress to the final stage, not before.

 

It is by the power of this grace that all our unfinished Karma of

millions of lives is cancelled, so are all our attachments & ties. The

grace makes us completely free in all sense, just like the Pure spirit is.

By following the path of the Gita- Gyan, Bhakti & Karma. We get ready

to recieve this grace once we start living in the Universal, & are no

longer bound by what happens to our little self.

 

All methods are tools to reach this stage, but thats what they

are-just tools. In addition to the 3 of Gita, there are other like

Raja Yog, Hatha Yog etc.

 

But grace is given only to those who have used these techniques to go

beyond techniques. Those who still stuck in the thinking " My

Bhakti/God is better than yours " or " Gyan Yog is better than Bhakti

Yog " are not yet fit to recieve grace, as they havent yet understood

the basic harmony of the Universe.
