While reviewing Session 6 of Acharyopasanam, I had a strong "aha" moment:

"Grace (anugraha), in the Vedic understanding, is never something to be earned through effort or moral striving. The presence of a teacher and the availability of the scriptures are signs that the sustaining intelligence of life has already turned toward you. What remains is to learn how to receive it."

This definition brought me joy and solace. It reminded me of Ishvara's infinite love and grace. It is from this understanding that surrender becomes possible and unshakable trust emerges. This is when R.E.S.T. becomes possible. A good reminder for when I question why over 8 years ago my journey inward began🙏

Jai Guru Deva!
