Grace is the benign effluence of the Overself, the kindly
radiation from it, ever-present in us. The theological use of this
term to mean particular help given by God to man to enable him to
endure temptation and act rightly is a serious and arbitrary narrowing
down of its original meaning. It may mean this sometimes, but it also
means the loving mercy God shows to man, which appears variously as
enlightenment of the mind or relief of the heart, as change of outward
physical conditions or a dynamic revolution-working energy acting on
the aspirant or on his life......Paul Brunton
