A single instant, a single impulse of deep and true love, a single minute of deep communion with the divine Grace brings you much closer to the goal than all possible explanations. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/agenda/12/april-17-1971#p113</ref>
 
==Surrender to the Divine Grace==
 
When, in your life, you meet with a hardship, take it as a Grace from the Lord and, indeed, it will become so. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/the-divine-grace-and-difficulties#p3</ref>

In any case and whatever happens, always consider events as a gift from the Divine Grace which is leading you by swift paths towards the spiritual goal of your life. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/the-divine-grace-and-difficulties#p6</ref>

The Divine does not want human beings to suffer, but, in their ignorance, human beings react in such a way that they bring suffering upon themselves. In peace, quietness and surrender is the only solution. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/the-divine-grace-and-difficulties#p13</ref>

All depends on what you want. If you want Yoga, take _all_ that happens as the expression of the Divine Grace leading you towards your goal, and try to understand the lesson that circumstances give. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/the-divine-grace-and-difficulties#p15</ref>

When difficulties besiege you, know that the Divine Grace is with you.<ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/the-divine-grace-and-difficulties#p19</ref>

People believe that the Grace means making everything smooth for all your life. It is not true.
The Grace works for the realisation of your aspiration and everything is arranged to gain the most prompt, the quickest realisation. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/the-divine-grace-and-difficulties#p20-p21</ref>

If you can tell yourself, "Good, perhaps the divine Grace deserves our confidence", simply this, nothing else, you will avoid many difficulties, many. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/22-december-1954#p41</ref>

In any case, the only thing which is really effective is to will what the Divine wills, and to keep an unshakable confidence in the supreme compassion of the Divine Grace, for through that it is always the best that happens; not the best according to human ideas but the best according to the supreme Truth. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/the-divine-grace-and-difficulties#p9-p10</ref>

It is only by remaining perfectly peaceful and calm with an unshakable confidence and faith in the Divine Grace that you will allow circumstances to be as good as they can be. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/the-divine-grace-and-difficulties#p1</ref>

Keep a ''cool head'', strong and ''very quiet nerves'', and a ''complete trust'' in the Divine Grace. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/trust-in-the-divine-grace-and-help#p20</ref>

Whatever happens we must remain quiet and trust the Divine's Grace. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/trust-in-the-divine-grace-and-help#p18</ref>

And there is no other remedy. It's the only remedy, for ''everybody'' without exception. To all those who suffer, it is the same thing that has to be said: all suffering is the sign that the surrender is not total. Then, when you feel in you a "bang", like that, instead of saying, "Oh, this is bad" or "This circumstance is difficult," you say, "My surrender is not perfect." Then it's all right. And then you feel the Grace that helps you and leads you, and you go on. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/11-may-1967#p3</ref>

Nothing can be compared to the peace that comes from a total trust in the Grace. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/trust-in-the-divine-grace-and-help#p22</ref>
