Question: What is Grace?

Maharaj: Grace is "Understanding." The Master gives you understanding, that is the grace. So accept it! That is the grace. The boy goes to school to learn and the teacher teaches him. If he doesn't accept the teaching, whose fault is it? If he accepts he can become a teacher too, why not? Acceptance is required, nothing else.

If you put your hand on someone's head can you learn? Is that grace? It's all nonsense. What a teacher says, you must experience "That." Be "That." There is nothing to become. You are "He" at this very moment. The Master takes away your ignorance. You gain nothing.
