An absolute faith and trust in the Grace is, in the last analysis, the Supreme Wisdom. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/faith-in-the-divine-grace-and-help#p31</ref>
=How to Walk the Path of Sadhana=
==Be Ready with Full Consent==
The Divine Grace and Power can do everything, but with the full assent of the sadhak. To learn to give that full assent is the whole meaning of the sadhana. It may take time either because of ideas in the mind, desires in the vital or inertia in the physical consciousness, but these things have to be and can be removed with the aid or by calling in the action of the Divine Force. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-divine-grace-and-guidance#p11</ref>
<center>~</center>
Without the Grace of the Divine nothing can be done, but for the full Grace to manifest the sadhak must make himself ready. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-divine-grace-and-guidance#p10</ref>
<center>~</center>
There is nobody who can go on in his own strength or by right of his fitness to the goal of the sadhana. It is only by the Divine Grace and reliance on the Divine Grace that it can be done. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-call-and-the-capacity#p29</ref>
<center>~</center>
To be absolutely sincere, straightforward, open, is not an easy achievement for human nature. It is only by spiritual endeavour that one can realise it—and to do it needs a severity of introspective self-vision, an unsparing scrutiny of self-observation of which many sadhaks or Yogins even are not capable and it is only by an illumining Grace that reveals the sadhak to himself and transforms what is deficient in him that it can be done. And even then only if he himself consents and lends himself wholly to the divine working. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/sincerity#p10</ref>
<center>~</center>
The complete consecration is undoubtedly not an easy matter, and it might take an almost indefinitely long time if you had to do it all by yourself, by your own independent effort. But when the Divine's Grace is with you it is not exactly like that. With a little push from the Divine now and then, a little push in this direction and in that, the work becomes comparatively quite easy. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/surrender-self-offering-and-consecration#p1</ref>
<center>~</center>
You must realise that these moods are attacks which should be rejected at once—for they repose on nothing but suggestions of self-distrust and incapacity which have no meaning, since it is by the Grace of the Divine and the aid of a Force greater than your own, not by personal capacity and worth that you can attain the goal of the sadhana. You have to remember that and dissociate yourself from these suggestions when they come, never accept or yield to them.

Vital difficulties are the common lot of every human being and of every sadhak—they are to be met with a quiet determination and confidence in the Divine’s Grace. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/the-difficulties-of-yoga#p13</ref>
<center>~</center>
Face all these things quietly and firmly with perseverance in the endeavour of the sadhana. Trust firmly in the Divine Grace and the Divine Grace will not fail you. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-divine-grace-and-guidance#p23</ref>
<center>~</center>
And such things come to you, not because you are unlucky or because your lot is not a happy one, but because, on the contrary, the divine Consciousness and the divine Grace take your resolution seriously and allow the circumstances to become a touchstone on your way, to see whether your resolution is sincere and whether you are strong enough to face the difficulties. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/the-elephant#p16</ref>
<center>~</center>
One cannot be perfect in discrimination at once or in rejection either. The one indispensable thing is to go on trying sincerely till there comes the full success. So long as there is complete sincerity, the Divine Grace will be there and assist at every moment on the way.<ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/sincerity#p20</ref>

Yes, the solution is certainly the Divine Grace—it comes of itself, intervening suddenly or with an increasing force when all is ready. Meanwhile it is there behind all the struggles, and "the unconquerable aspiration for the light" of which you speak is the outward sign that it will intervene. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/the-difficulties-of-human-nature#p32</ref>
<center>~</center>
It is in action, in effort, in the march forward that repose must be found, the true repose of complete trust in the divine Grace, of the absence of desires, of victory over egoism. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/09/20-march-1957#p11</ref>
<center>~</center>
Through this apparent chaos a new and better order is being formed. But to see it one must have faith in the Divine Grace. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/faith-in-the-divine-grace-and-help#p33</ref>
<center>~</center>
Everything should be for the sake of the Divine, this also. As for leaving the result to the Divine, it depends on what you mean by the phrase. If it implies dependence on the Divine Grace and equanimity and patience in the persistent aspiration, then it is all right. But it must not be extended to cover slackness and indifference in the aspiration and endeavour. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-divine-grace-and-guidance#p13</ref>
<center>~</center>
I ask you to have faith in the Divine, in the Divine Grace, in the truth of the sadhana, in the eventual triumph of the spirit over its mental and vital and physical difficulties, in the Path and the Guru, in the existence of things other than are written in the philosophy of Haeckel or Huxley or Bertrand Russell, because if these things are not true, there is no meaning in the Yoga. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/faith#p52</ref>
<center>~</center>
The only question is whether there is something behind all the anomalies of life which can respond to the call and open itself with whatever difficulty till it is ready for the illumination of the Divine Grace—and that something must be not a mental and vital movement but an inner somewhat which can well be seen by the inner eye. If it is there and when it becomes active in front, then the Compassion can act, though the full action of the Grace may still wait attending the decisive decision or change; for this may be postponed to a future hour, because some portion or element of the being may still come between, something that is not yet ready to receive. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-divine-grace-and-guidance#p4</ref>

No sadhak can reach the supermind by his own efforts and the effort to do it by personal tapasya has been the source of many mishaps. One has to go quietly stage by stage until the being is ready and even then it is only the Grace that can bring the real supramental change. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/28/the-supramental-transformation#p15</ref>

Psychic life in the universe is a work of the divine Grace. Psychic growth is a work of the divine Grace and the ultimate power of the psychic being over the physical-being will also be a result of the divine Grace. And the mind, if it wants to be at all useful, has only to remain very quiet, as quiet as it can, because if it meddles in it, it is sure to spoil everything. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/9-february-1955#p22</ref>
