Bhagavan says, There is no reaching the Self. If the Self were to be reached, it would mean that the Self is not now and here, but that it should be got anew. What is got afresh, will also be lost. So it will be impermanent. What is not permanent is not worth striving for. So I say, the Self is not reached. You are the Self. You are already That. Status and this quote are from Talk 251. The Self alone is permanent. Renunciation is non-identification of the Self with the non-self. On the disappearance of ignorance the non-self ceases to exist. That is true renunciation. ~ Bhagavan in Talk 251. As for Grace - Grace is within you. If it is external it is useless. Grace is the Self. You are never out of its operation. Grace is always there. Bhagavan in Talk 251. Bhagavan says, Grace is the Self. I have already said, If you remember Bhagavan , you are prompted to do so by the Self. Is not Grace already there? Is there a moment when Grace is not operating in you? Your remembrance is the forerunner of Grace. That is the response, that is the stimulus, that is the Self and that is Grace. There is no cause for anxiety. Emphasizing this point, Bhagavan says in Talk 251, The fact is that you are not the body. The Self does not move. The world moves in it. You are only what you are. There is no change in you.
