~~~~~Vichaara and the Grace~~~~~
~~~~~~
(विचार and अनुग्रह )~~~~~~


Devotee.- Then I can dispense with outside help and by mine
own effort get into the deeper truth by myself.
Maharshi.- True. But the very fact that you are possessed of 
the quest of the Self is a manifestation of the Divine Grace :
Arul. It is effulgent in the Heart, the inner being, the Real Self. 
It draws you from within. You have to attempt to get in from
without. Your attempt is Vichaara (earnest quest), the deep inner
movement is Grace : Arul. That is why I say there is no real
Vichaara without Grace, nor is there Grace active for him who 
is without Vichaara. Both are necessary.
