Grace...

God, who is immanent, in his grace takes
pity on the loving devotee and manifests himself
according to the devotee's development.

The
devotee thinks that he is a man and expects a
relationship between two physical bodies.

But
the Guru who is God or the Self incarnate works
from within,

helps the man to see the error of
his ways and guides him on the right path until
he realises the Self within.
