DELIVERANCE THROUGH GRACE

The way to prosperous life free from all the hazels is dependence on the Divine and living in grace. Grace, as the word may look simple, yet has profound sense and power hidden in it.

Grace could mean -

"undeserved blessing freely bestowed on man by God" - (Hughes)

"love as exercised towards the inferior, dependent or unworthy" - (Hodge)

Grace alone can help a person rise to great heights both spiritually and materialistically. Live a simple life and love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly and you are beyond the horizon. Grace alone can save one from the cycle of birth and death and then paves way for eternity.

There are probably as many definitions of grace, yet one thread that runs through all of them is simply that Grace is what God does for us, in us, with us, and through us. Grace is an activity of God motivated by His Love alone and not through our merits, accepted by the receiver through the eyes of faith, and there is no scientific theory to it. Grace has to be experienced by one to taste the Love of God.

Grace is the nature of Divine. In common we equate grace to kindness. To communicate grace is to be nice to people, especially when they aren’t particularly nice to you. Every definition will fall short to explain the term "Grace". We can say that we are saved by the grace of the Lord and being forgiven just because of his mercy.

Grace is never a condition, it is not we get because we deserve it for some of our merits. It is a free gift from the Almighty - a way he showers his immeasurable love for his creation though most of the times we do not walk in the path of righteousness. The knowledge of self-realization, to think deeply and take apt decision regarding one's life which is of utmost importance needs many spiritual ingredients.

God's grace is recognized as a key ingredient for deliverance. Faith and unconditional surrender alone will help us to receive Divine Grace. Whether it is meditation, prayer, introspection or self-assessment, the route used would depend on a person's temperament and inclination. What is encouraging is that sincere steps taken on the spiritual path leads to progress that we might not even be aware of.

There are moments in life when even scientific advancement and scientist who need a proof ascribe to the role played by divine Grace, which in some cases operate throughout a person's life. Miracles and the powers of healing is a witness to this aspect.

The hand of Grace of God makes transformations in knowing the Truth and helps one to grow spiritually leading to self-realization. The intellect now perceives the truth in the light of the Self, through the eyes of knowledge and craves to know the Omnipotent force.

Grace alone can lead one and helps the soul realize the cause of creation. The path of devotion or inner reflection, conscious of the Cosmic Intelligence, the Absolute truth, leads one to receive grace.

Grace is a beautiful flower with golden petals made of mercy, love and gentleness all dipped in honey of the mother nature. Men of wisdom have always looked for grace of a higher power right from the time of Moses and Abraham of the Old Testament and throughout all ages.

The door to Grace unfolds when the mind is tuned in wonder, reverence and gratitude to the power of divine. An unique bond is created between the seeker and the Eternal force for he who longs for it receives in many folds.

Grace is the gift of Almighty to men of who seek him with all humility. A gift par excellence..... and been admired by many ... wanted by many ... yet all one needs to gain this is simple LOVE and devotion to GOD. Grace alone unwinds itself into Miracles.

Humility is the stepping stone to Grace. Things work in harmony when we care for each other rather than being selfish and distancing ourselves just because of our egoistic nature. The Divine power can neither be comprehended nor apprehended by the lower order of things. With all our righteousness, we are but filthy rags and when in the flesh, none are righteous.

The soul, as it rises above the body consciousness, shines forth in its pristine purity, rises into Cosmic flow and feels, as it were, the efflorescence of the microcosm into the macrocosm. It is this which is called the birth of the Spirit as distinguished from the birth of the flesh where are vices tend to crop up.

Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God - (John 3.3).

Except a man be born of a water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God (John 3:5).

The Absolute truth is the primal manifestation which comes in the form of Light and Sound, and it is for the Master Saint to give an experience by helping each soul rise above the sensory plane, if only for a short while. So long as a person does not transcend the sensual plane, he remains an utter stranger to the Life Divine.

The culminating point of the spiritual journey is the Kingdom of God, to which the spirit is gradually led by the radiant form of the Master. It is not something external, for all beauty and glory lie within the human soul. It is said that -

"The Kingdom of God cometh not with observation, the Kingdom of God is within you".

Man can be saved only by grace alone and not out of his own merits. It is a free gift for us, all we need to do is to recognize its importance and accept the same with all humility. For man is saved through grace alone and not out of his merits.

The hand of law always makes him a prisoner to bondage where as grace delivers the soul and gives the strength to breath free. The grace of God will lead all humanity into Eternal Peace.
