Grace is there all along. Grace is the self. It is not something to be acquired. All that is necessary is to know its existence. It is the same way the sun is pure brightness.it is there and shines and you are surrounded 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.; Ramana Maharishi.
Comment; self is our real nature. It’s very simple but our minds remain occupied with worldly objects. That is why our minds live in tension. But when we empty our minds by observing our minds. Through the practice of self-inquiry, we touch the bliss. we have to look inside our thoughts.
