It depends upon the grace of God. He bestows His grace upon anyone He likes. Grace is the important thing

"Do you know, my child, what it is like? It is just like a candy in the hand of a child. Some people beg the child to part with it. But he does not care to give it to them. Still he easily hands it over to another whom he likes. A man performs severe austerity and spiritual practices throughout his life to realize God, but he does not succeed, whereas another man gets his realization practically without any effort. It depends upon the grace of God. He bestows His grace upon anyone He likes. Grace is the important thing."

Likewise, it would suffice if we do not block the Grace that is being sent out.


One can continuously Chant the Divine Names of the God only by God's grace. But, if we think we are Chanting the Names, then the Sadhana would not give result.


The easiest way to attain the Grace of Bhagavan is to chant his Năma


That love, can sprout only by his grace. His grace descends when we chant the Mahamantra.


Mechanical chanting is the only starting point we can attempt. It matures to love by grace.


Bhagavăn might (without any reason) just bestow liberation on anyone. This is very rare, though.


He whom the Self chooses, by him the Self can be gained.


Lord should desire to take you unto Him


You didn't choose me, but I chose you


Therefore with out Lord's mercy and grace by what other means can one expect to realize the true nature - महद्-अनुग्रहम् अन्तरेण


You may do crores of japa, dhayna; do anything; but, unless Bhagavăn Wills to take you unto Him no amount of your sadhana will bear fruit.


Only through causeless mercy does He reveals Him


By the mere Will of God even the lowliest of the low can, in a matter of a second, receive the Grace and become a Jnăni.


Even if he gets a single good thought or recites the Divine Names of God once, the first thought that comes to him is, 'this happened because of the boundless grace of my Guru'!


When one believes in the grace of the Lord alone and totally surrenders to Him, he is liberated in the very same birth.


Likewise, it would suffice if we do not block the Grace that is being sent out.


God's grace always flows in abundance. It is upto you to be ready to receive it.


God's boundless grace though, is immeasurable, limitless and infinite!
