In this video, I talk about the importance of effort and grace in Spiritual Life. I am on the path of Spirituality, so whether I put in my all-out effort or should I wait for the Grace of the Divine, the Grace of God, or the Grace of the Universe to descend on me? This is the question which comes in the mind of almost every Spiritual Seeker. And it's very natural, because there are many Spiritual Seekers who have put in their best to experience the Divine within but they haven't been able to do so, and so they think that now it's the Grace alone which can make it happen, and there is this other group of Spiritual Seekers who totally depend on Grace for that auspicious moment when they would experience their Divinity beyond the body-mind complex. So this question is bound to come in the mind of almost every Spiritual Seeker because majority of the Spiritual Seekers belong to one or the other group. Now allow me to tell you what is more important, your efforts or the wait for the Divine Grace. Both are equally important. Yes, you heard it right. Efforts are as important as the Grace. But you must keep this one thing in mind, that Grace is always followed by efforts, and it's never the other way round. It's only when you've put in your best that you can expect the Grace of the Divine. Grace is directly proportional to the efforts which means the Greater the efforts, the sooner you can expect the Grace to descend on you. And it also doesn't mean that for some years you work hard and then you just sit, waiting for Grace. It doesn't work that way at all. Grace can also descend while you are in the middle of any action. Your attitude plays an pivotal role, your mindset plays an important role in bring about the Grace in your life. And what sort of attitude or mindset you must have in order for the Grace to descend on you. The attitude of Surrender, the attitude of unconditional acceptance of what is, the attitude of non-resistance towards what the Universe brings about in your life. This is what is required for the Grace to operate in your life. For more, kindly watch my video! Rights of this video belong to Eternal Life Channel.
