the state of Grace comes then the Grace itself acts. There are
these three powers:
(1) the Cosmic Law, of Karma or what else; (2) the Divine
Compassion acting on as many as it can reach through the nets
of the Law and giving them their chance; and (3) the Divine
Grace which acts more incalculably but also more irresistibly
than the others. The only question is whether there is some-
thing behind all the anomalies of life which can respond to the
call and open itself with whatever difficulty till it is ready for the
illumination of the Divine Grace — and that something must
be not a mental and vital movement but an inner somewhat
which can well be seen by the inner eye. If it is there and when it
becomes active in front, then the Compassion can act, though
the full action of the Grace may still wait attending the decisive
decision or change; for this may be postponed to a future hour,
because some portion or element of the being may still come
between, something that is not yet ready to receive.
CWSA 29: 168-69 Sri Aurobindo
The Grace is something that pushes you towards the goal to be
attained. Do not try to judge it by your mind, you will not get any-
where, because it is something formidable which is not explained
through human words or feelings. When the Grace acts, the re-
sult may or may not be pleasant — it takes no account of any
human value, it may even be a catastrophe from the ordinary
and superficial point of view. But it is always the best for the
individual. It is a blow that the Divine sends so that progress may
be made by leaps and bounds. The Grace is that which makes you
march swiftly towards the realisation.
