The Grace of the Lord - Maharaj Charan Singh

We can never truly worship unless the Lord wills it. How can a blind man ever catch hold of a man who can see, unless the latter either calls out to him or gives him his own hand? Our attention is always concentrated on the world and its passing show. We are entirely world-oriented; only the Lord’s mercy and grace can make us God-oriented. Guru Amar Das says:

Birth and death are in your hands, O Lord!

It is only he on whom your grace is showered

Who is exalted¹.

Similarly, Kabir Sahib says:

The Lord can do all,

Man can do nothing;

He can turn a mustard seed Into a mountain, for the mountain

Is contained within the seed. The individual neither did
