| The Gita says:- "Whatsoever thou eatest, whatsoever thou eatest, whatsoever thou offerest, what so ever thou givest and whatsoever of austerities thou mayest practise - do that as an offering unto me." "Thus shalt thou be free from the bonds of works which bear good or evil fruits. With thy mind firmly set on the way of renunciation thou shalt become free and come to me." This kind of action is called Niskamakarma or self less action. It is also called Karma-Yoga, or it is action prompted by the love of union with God. Yoga or the love of union takes us away from the strife of the mortal world, where the Law of Karma prevails, to the peace of the spiritual world, where the higher Law of Grace prevails. Grace is the awakening of God in the human soul. It is not something that operates from without When we rouse ourselves to a sense of the kind welling God and act in accordance with His will, we are said It to be in grace. We are, said to have entered the world of God. When we are in grace, we do not mind what fruits our sins have borne. We lie on the bed we have made, as others do. But we are wrapped in the love of God which protects us against all its dis- comforts. Great devotees of God never feel the hardships of their lot in life. In their overpowering love they forget all their difficulties. For they have gained entrance into a world where, according to the Upanishads: " a blind man is no longer blind, a wounded man is no longer wounded and a suffering man is no longer suffers." |
