How to gain Divine Grace?

Devotee.: How to gain Divine Grace?

Maharshi.: By surrender.

Devotee.: Still I do not feel Grace.

Maharshi.: Sincerity is wanting. Surrender should not be verbal nor conditional. Passages from St. Justinian were read out to illustrate these statements. Prayer is not verbal. It is from the heart. To merge into the Heart is prayer. That is also Grace.
The Alwar says: “I was all along seeking Thee. But on realising the Self I find you are the Self. The Self is my all, and so you are my All.”


The one who surrenders everything, including himself, and the one who finds nothing, including himself, discover the same Truth.

he is not the body, -Ramana Maharishi

In the beginning one has to be told 
that he is not the body, 
because he thinks that he is the body only. 
Whereas he is the body and all else. 
The body is only a part. 
Let him know it finally. 
But he must first discern consciousness from insentience and be the consciousness only. 
This is discrimination (viveka). 
The initial discrimination must persist to the end. 
Its fruit is liberation.

Ramana Maharishi

Sadhana Raman

"Sadhana is only to get rid of the bodily and other illusions which are in the way of the self standing up as Self. This delusion arises only by thinking that this bodily world is real, instead of looking at the Self, which is real. Sadhana is only to get rid of this illusion. Otherwise, why should there be sadhana for the Self to attain its own Self? He who has realised his own Self does not recognize anything else.”

(Bhagavan in 'Letters from Sri Ramanasramam', Letter 68)

The world is a result of your mind.

The world is a result of your mind.

 Know your mind. 

The world is only a phenomenon 

appearing on that pure consciousness. 

Pure Consciousness is itself unaffected. 

The Universe is like a painting on a screen.

 That which rises and sinks 

is made up of what it rises from. 

The finality of the universe is the Self.
