Boundless Love - Gladys De Meuter

"Grace is always there". Sri Ramana Maharshi said these words to one of the countless hearts who came to him for spiritual guidance and solace. Is not the sage grace embodied?

Once, when Sri Bhagavan was asked whether grace was not the gift conferred by the guru, he replied, "God, guru and grace are synonymous terms. They are immanent and eternal".

Grace! Here lies the heart of spiritual life!

From this source wells forth the infinite variety of forms which grace assumes, as it were, in order to dissipate the mists of the chimera called ignorance. These are relative terms, for on a loftier level, Sri Bhagavan taught that there is neither seeker nor goal, for Self alone is.
