GRACE OF YOUR OWN MIND

There is the grace of the guru, the grace of the devotees, and the grace of God.  For the lack of one grace, though, a person ruins himself.  So says a Vaishnava saint.  And what is that grace?  It is the grace of your own mind.  Unless you have the grace of your own mind, you cannot have divine grace.  Although there is the breeze of divine grace blowing, you cannot catch that breeze until you have the grace of your own mind.  This grace is self-surrender.  It is giving up your ego to God.
