The Relationship Between Grace and Karma
Grace and karma are distinct concepts. Karma refers to the automatic workings of cause and effect in our lives, unwinding our past actions. Grace, on the other hand, is the support and assistance from the universe and higher forces that can help us in our spiritual journey. Grace is invoked when we turn our attention to the divine and seek a deeper connection. It aligns us with the will of God and brings forth all the available forces to aid us on our path. Grace is not the same as karma, as it introduces choices and the potential to go in harmony with the divine will. We can make choices that accelerate our progress, but grace will not interfere if we choose to go against the flow. Grace can speed up the process of spiritual growth, but we must actively engage with it through our intentions, actions, and surrender to the divine will.
