Grace is all along. grace is the self. it is not something to be acquired. all that is necessary is to know the existence. in the same way the sun is pure brightness. it is there and shines and you are surrender by sunlight. still,

if you want to know the sun you must turn your eyes in the direction and look at it. similarly, grace is only to be found by effort. although it is here and now.—– Maharishi Ramana.

Comment bt Swami Amarjit Singh; I also can see the truth of it. because maharishi was telling from his own experience of Samadhi.he never read any scripture and experience of self- realization he found himself. he does not use more words and logic but spoke from his own wisdom.
