Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Grace - How Sweet It is - Without It There Is Neither Start Nor Finish Part 04 Most people are lost in a waking dream. They wander about believing the real to be false and the false to be real. Like absent-minded actors in a play, they have forgotten their lines and they take their haphazardly improvised role to be reality. Without grace, one cannot even start the Lord's play, much less bow at the finale. The grace of God is essential for " Salvation " . It helps us to grow in many ways, granting more than we could ask for. Not even the urge to realize divinity can be obtained without God's grace. The means, the ability, and our achievement of the goal are all dependent upon grace. Through the grace of the Lord alone can man develop a desire for advaita, or nonduality of the universe, one without second. All our efforts should be directed towards winning God's grace. His grace is our only true wealth. It is our greatest possession in this life and the next. Without that grace, there can be little sweetness in our lives. God's grace is the greatest wealth. To consider the amassing of money, gold, or other material objects as symbols of wealth and social prestige is incorrect. The Goal of life, instead, should be the acquisition of the divine wealth of God's grace Next....
