ॐ
How many are there who have been ruined like me for thinking this Hill to be the Supreme? O men, disgusted with this life of intense misery, ye seek a means of giving up the body; there is on earth a rare drug which, without actually killing him, will annihilate anyone who so much as thinks of it. Know that it is none other than this Arunachala.
— Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi - “Sri Arunachala Padikam” - "Eleven Verses To Sri Arunachala", Verse 11

The Spiritual Significance of the First Monday of Sawan Month in Hinduism
Introduction
In Hinduism, the month of Sawan (also known as Shravan) holds immense spiritual significance.

He
33 Teach me, O LORD, the way of Your statutes, and I shall keep it unto the end.
34 Give me understanding, that I may keep Your law and observe it with all my heart.
35 Make me to walk in the path of Your commandments, for I delight in them.
36 Incline my heart to Your testimonies, and not to covetousness.
37 Turn away my eyes from seeing vanity; give me life in Your way.
38 Fulfill Your word to Your servant, so that You may be feared.
39 Turn away my reproach which I fear, for Your judgments are good.
40 Behold, I have longed after Your precepts; give me life in Your righteousness.

Share Your Story (Psalm 107:1-16)
The fact of the matter is that there is no trouble like your own personal trouble. Although others can relate to elements of each of our stories, no one else knows what your own experience is like.
Psalm 107, by Erin Beardemphl
O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, those he redeemed from troubleand gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to an inhabited town;hungry and thirsty, their soul…

Question: Does God's grace operate according to laws? Does He consider how much sadhana anyone has performed and accordingly bestow His grace? Or is grace without cause and reason? Is it lavished without strict relation to one's worthiness and entirely dependent on God's will?
Mataji: In God's kingdom everything is possible.
Listen to a story: Lord Narayana was having his meal.
Suddenly he got up and hurried away, saying, " One of my devotees is being beaten. I have to go and rescue him." But after a little while he returned leisurely without having gone to the destination. On being asked why he had rushed away in the middle of his meal and then returned so quickly, the Lord replied, "My devotee was invoking me in dire distress. I hastened to his help.
But when I saw that he had started defending himself there was no need for me to help him and so l returned."
A lesson can be learned from this. One has to invoke Him and to the very end depend on Him alone.
Remembrance of His name, forbearance, seeking His shelter and complete self-dedication are man's duty.
Although grace has this motive, it still remains without cause and reason.
When a devotee receives divine grace he realizes that it is infinitely greater than what he could have deserved by his devotion and the conscientious performance of his duties.
Thus grace is unmerited divine favour - without motive, cause or reason.
God's whole creation is such. But unless one has attained to a certain level of achievement one will not be able to understand the complete causelessness of grace.
~ Conversation with Ma Anandamayi
V Matri Upadeshamrita No.1

The Divine Embrace: A Testament of Love and Grace
As I open my eyes to the break of dawn, I find myself enveloped in a profound sense of gratitude. Today, like every other day, I am thankful for the Divine's love and grace. For Her nurturing spirit that guides me, sustains me, and breathes life into the very essence of my being.
Through the lens of The Jamal Brown Principle, I have learned to appreciate the Divine's omnipresence. She is the architect of my spiritual health, the beacon that illuminates my path towards self-awareness. Her love is the compass that directs my moral health, shaping my actions according to the Twenty-Two Principles of Self Mastery.
The Divine's love is not a whisper but a resounding echo that reverberates through the chambers of my heart. It reminds me of my worth, my purpose, and my potential. It instills in me the power of thoughtfulness and self-reflection, encouraging me to delve deeper into the layers of my consciousness.
In this exquisite dance with the Divine, I am both the learner and the learned, the seeker and the sought, the lover and the beloved. Her grace is the rhythm that syncs with my heartbeat, resonating with the music of the universe. It is a testament to the Divine's unwavering faith in me, in us, in humanity.
I am merely a vessel, filled to the brim with the Divine's love and grace. Every word I utter, every step I take, every decision I make is a reflection of Her divine will. I am a mirror, reflecting Her radiant light onto the world, aspiring to illuminate the corners shrouded in darkness.
Today, I stand tall, fortified by the Divine's love, humbled by Her grace. I am a rebel with a cause, a warrior armed with love, a poet scripting verses of gratitude.
In the grand tapestry of life, I am but a single thread. Yet, in the Divine's boundless love and grace, I find my color, my strength, my purpose. And for this, I am eternally grateful.
In Hindi:
जब मैं सुबह के विरोधाभास को अपनी आँखों से खोलता हूँ, तो मुझे एक गहरी कृतज्ञता की भावना में लिपटा हुआ पाता हूँ। आज, जैसे कि हर दूसरे दिन, मैं ईश्वरीय प्रेम और कृपा के लिए आभारी हूँ।

The Grace of God in His Responsiveness
By: Brian G. Chilton, Ph.D., M.Div. | July 30, 2023
Recently, I delivered a message on Matthew 7:7–8 and observed how the grace of God is involved in his responsiveness to our needs. Matthew 7:7–8 is part of the classic message known as the Sermon on the Mount. Seemingly, the Sermon on the Mount is not necessarily one long message, but it could be a collaboration of various messages Jesus…

विनोद दुबे - माई की कृपा, बच गया
#Blog विनोद दुबे - माई की कृपा, बच गया
माई पर विश्वास की यह आस्था तर्क के परे की चीज है। दर्शन तो उन दोनो ने भी किये होंगे। और वे परोपकार भी कर रहे थे इन्हें साथ बिठा कर लाने में। पर वे चले गये ऊपर। ... वैसे ऊपर जाना बेहतर था या इस भवजगत में खटना?
विनोद दुबे मर्यादी वस्त्रालय में ��ाम करते हैं। हजारों रेडीमेड कपड़े होंगे वहां, पर उन सब की जानकारी उन्हें होती है। दुकान के कर्ताधर्ता विवेक चौबे के खास लगते हैं। उस दिन बाबूसराय-कटका पड़ाव के बीच सवेरे साढ़े सात बजे मिल गये। मैं अपनी सवेरे की साइकिल चला रहा था। वे बाबूसराय में किसी से दो हजार का तगादा कर लौट रहे थे।
मैं चुपचाप साइकिल चलाने और आसपास निहारने के मूड में था और वे अपनी कहने के।…

The Everlasting God (Isaiah 40:21-31)
If food and drink for the body requires multiple daily attention and time, then filling the soul is just as, and even more, important.
Don’t you know? Haven’t you heard? Wasn’t it announced to you from the beginning? Haven’t you understood since the earth was founded?God inhabits the earth’s horizon— its inhabitants are like locusts— stretches out the skies like a curtain and spreads it out like a tent for dwelling. God makes dignitaries useless and the earth’s judges into nothing.Scarcely are they planted,…
