There is a Power that no ruler can command; there is a Happiness that no earthly success can bring; there is a Light that no wisdom can possess; there is a Knowledge that no philosophy and no science can master; there is a Bliss of which no satisfaction of desire can give the enjoyment; there is a thirst for Love that no human relation can appease; there is a Peace that one finds nowhere here, not even in death.It is the Power, the Happiness, the Light, the Knowledge, the Bliss, the Love, the Peace that flow from the Divine Grace. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/32/december-28-1928#p2-p3</ref>
=What is Divine Grace?=
Divine Grace is not an invention, it is a fact action from above or from within independent of spiritual experiencemental causes which decides its own movement. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/We can call it the-divine-grace-and-guidance#p14</ref>In the whole manifestation there is an infinite Divine Grace constantly at work to bring the world out of the misery, ; we can call it the obscurity and the stupidity in which it lies. From all time this Grace has been at work, unremitting in Self within choosing its effort, own hour and how many thousands of years were necessary for this world way to awaken manifest to the need for something greater, more true, more beautiful. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/09/29-october-1958#p11</ref>There are no words that mental instrument on the surface; we can express call it the magnificence flowering of the Grace: how everything is arranged for things to move as fast as possible. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/agenda/10/novemberinner being or inner nature into self-19realisation and self-1969#p73</ref>The Divine Grace cannot be explained through words and mental formulasknowledge. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwmcwsa/1429/the-divine-grace#p19</ref>=Experience of the Divine Grace=There are days when one is in contact with the divine Consciousness which is at work, with the Grace, and then everything is tinged, coloured with this Presence, and things which usually seem to you dull and uninteresting become charming, pleasant, attractive, instructive—everything lives and vibrates, and is full of promise and force. So, when one opens to that, one feels stronger, freer, happier, full of energy, -and ''everything'' has a meaning. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/08/26-september-1956guidance#p14p6</ref>=Why Divine Grace Matters=
==It is something which contradicts the law of the world, for it is outside its normal rule and not of its nature. It is something else beyond the intellect which alone can give him[man] the Light—something beyond his mind and greater than himself—a Grace that intervenes, the law of a supernormal Light and Will, a help, an opening from above. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-divine-grace-and Strength==-guidance#p2,p3</ref>
Strength, if it In the whole manifestation there is spiritualan infinite Grace constantly at work to bring the world out of the misery, is a power for spiritual realisation; a greater power is sincerity; the greatest power of obscurity and the stupidity in which it lies. From all is time this Gracehas been at work, unremitting in its effort. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/09/29/the-divine-grace-andoctober-guidance1958#p14p11</ref>
==The Grace does everything, is behind everything, organises everything, conducts everything, so that the march forward to the divine realisation may be as swift, as complete, as total and Justice==harmonious as possible, considering the circumstances of the world. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/08/1-august-1956#p49</ref>
It is the The Divine Grace that must cannot be prayed for―if justice were to manifest, very few would be those who could stand in front of itexplained through words and mental formulas. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/the-divine-grace#p2p19</ref>
==Experience of the Divine Grace and Will==
The Divine Will works There are days when one is in all things—it may contact with the divine Consciousness which is at work out anything whatever, with the Grace, and then everything is tinged, coloured with this Presence, and things which usually seem to you dull and uninteresting become charming, pleasant, attractive, instructive—everything lives and vibrates, and is full of promise and force. The Divine Grace comes in So, when one opens to help that, one feels stronger, freer, happier, full of energy, and save''everything'' has a meaning. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsacwm/2908/the26-divine-grace-andseptember-guidance1956#p1p14</ref>
==Why Divine Grace and Faith=Matters?=
Our faith in the omnipotence of the Grace It is never equal to what only the Divine's Grace itself isthat can give peace, happiness, power, light, knowledge, beatitude and love in their essence and their truth. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/faith-in-the-divine-grace-and-help#p29p21</ref>
==At each moment of our life, in all circumstances the Grace is there helping us to surmount all difficulties. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/faith-in-the-divine-grace-and Karma==-help#p23</ref>
CompletelyBut as soon as one enters the path of spiritual life, this old predetermined destiny begins to recede. There comes in a new factor, the Divine Grace completely contradicts , the help of a higher Divine Force other than the force of Karma; you know, It makes it melt away like butter thatwhich can lift the sadhak beyond the present possibilities of his nature. One's put in spiritual destiny is then the divine election which ensures the sunfuture. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwmcwsa/0528/3fate-free-will-juneand-1953prediction#p24p2</ref>
==How to Receive Divine Grace and Faith=?=
Our faith in ==By Being Aware of the omnipotence Workings of the Divine Grace == People are not aware of the workings of Grace except when there has been some danger, that is , when there has been the beginning of an accident or the accident has taken place and they have escaped it. Then they become aware. But never equal to what are they aware that if, for instance, a journey or anything whatever, passes without any accident, it is an infinitely higher Grace. That is, the Grace itself harmony isestablished in such a way that nothing can happen. But that seems to them quite natural. When people are ill and get well quickly, they are full of gratitude; but never do they think of being grateful when they are well; and yet that is a much greater miracle! <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/1405/faith-in-the-divine-grace23-anddecember-help1953#p29p52</ref> ==By Invoking==
=How to Receive Divine If you have only a great aspiration for the divine Grace=and evoke it, implore it, without asking it for anything precise, it is the Grace which will choose what it will do for you, not you. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/08/8-august-1956#p26,p27</ref>
==Be Worthy of the Divine GraceBy Aspiration==
Who is worthy or unworthy in front of the Divine The Grace?All are children of the one and the same Mother.Her love is equally spread over for all of them.But to each one She gives receives it according to his nature sincerity. It does not depend on outward circumstances but on a sincere aspiration and receptivityopenness. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/the-divine-grace#p23-p26p29</ref>
==Open to the Divine GraceBy Opening==
If you become aware that it is only the Grace which can do that, that the situation in which you find yourself, from there the Grace alone can pull you out, can give you the solution and the strength to come out of it, then, quite naturally an intense aspiration awakes in you, a consciousness which is translated into an opening. If you call, aspire, and if you hope to get an answer, you will quite naturally open yourself to the Grace. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/15-september-1954#p32</ref>
==By Faith and Trust in the Divine Grace==
The Grace is always there ready to act but you must let it work and not resist its action. The one condition required is faith. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/faith-in-the-divine-grace-and-help#p8</ref>
Even if one has no knowledge at all but has trust in the divine Grace, if one has the faith that there is something in the world like the divine Grace, and that this something can answer a prayer, an aspiration, an invocation, then, after making one's mental formation, if one offers it to the Grace and puts one's trust in it, asks it to intervene and has the faith that it will intervene, then indeed one has a chance of success. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/08/8-august-1956#p24</ref>
==Invoke By Shedding the Divine Grace== ''Does the intervention of the Grace come through a call?'' When one calls? I think so. Anyway, not exclusively and solely. But certainly, yes, if one has faith in the Grace and an aspiration and if one does what a little child would when it runs to its mother and says: "Mamma, give me this", if one calls with that simplicity, if one turns to the Grace and says "Give me this", I believe it listens. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/18-november-1953#p38-p39</ref> ==Be Aware of the Works of GraceEgo==
People are not aware The "I" has to take its proper place here as a small portion and instrument of the workings of Grace except when there has been some dangerDivine, something that is, when there has been nothing without the beginning of an accident or Divine but with the accident has taken place and they have escaped it. Then they become aware. But never are they aware that if, for instance, a journey or anything whatever, passes without any accident, it is an infinitely higher Grace. That is, the harmony is established in such a way that nothing can happen. But be everything that seems the Divine wishes it to them quite naturalbe. When people are ill and get well quickly, they are full of gratitude; but never do they think of being grateful when they are well; and yet that is a much greater miracle! <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwmcwsa/0531/23dealing-with-decemberhostile-1953attacks#p52p55</ref>
==Be Being Grateful to the Divine Grace==
The best possible way is to allow the Divine Grace to work in you, never to oppose it, never to be ungrateful and turn against it—but to follow it always to the goal of Light and Peace and unity and Ananda. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-divine-grace-and-guidance#p24</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>
==Help It is never to lose the idea of the total self-giving to the Grace which is the expression of the Supreme. When one gives oneself, when one surrenders, entrusts oneself entirely to That which is above, beyond all creation, and when, instead of seeking any personal advantage from the Divine experience, one makes an offering of it to the divine Grace==and knows that it is from This that the experience comes and that it is to This that the result of the experience must be given back, then one is quite safe.
The only help In other words: no ambition, no vanity, no pride. A sincere self-giving, a sincere humility, and one can and should receive is that of the Grace which formulates itself in everyone according to his own needsheltered from all danger. There you are, this is what I call being greater than one's experience. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/0908/2422-septemberaugust-19581956#p19p24,p25</ref> ==Path of Progress==
Leave all care to the Divine's Grace, including your progress, and you will be in peace. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/trust-in-the-divine-grace-and-help#p23</ref>
==Divine Grace Never Fails==
The Divine Grace is with us and never leaves us even when the appearances are dark. <ref>https://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/faith-in-the-divine-grace-and-help#p19</ref>
