Gratitude Grace

Gratitude Grace

Megha Bajaj surrenders to the mystery of Grace, which has become a part of her day-to-day living experience 

In the recent past, I have had  some experiences which, in  my eyes, seem incredible.  Amazing. And absolutely beyond  normal. You read them, and I will  tell you what I think is happening. About a year ago, I had COVID.  A particularly nasty attack at that.  Body ache, inability to breathe,  fever, chills, and a feeling of “I  can’t take it!” I remember speaking  to someone very close to me during  this spell of illness. Someone very  intuitive and wise. He called and  said, “I just want to meditate with  you.” I didn’t even have the energy  to think. All I did was lie there and  listen to his healing voice. He said  to me, after being silent for a while,  “You know, Megha, it’s strange,  but it feels like your entire body is  enveloped in a soft white light. No  matter what is happening, grace is  surrounding you, and it will carry  you through.” With no medication,  no doctor’s visits, and (thankfully)  no hospital visits, within days,  COVID slipped away from my  system, like it never existed.  Grace. I could feel its protection  even through the toughest days.  Though I felt ill, Grace told me  I would be fine. Though it felt  physically very intense, Grace told  me I was protected. And I believed  it. 

A few days ago, I forgot my suitcase  in a taxi; it contained some very  crucial documents and my laptop.  I was about to get into a frenzied  state as I did not have the driver’s  number, and he had dropped me  off about ten minutes before I  realised I had forgotten it. Grace  spoke. It told me, You will retrieve  your bag. You will. Though nothing  factually supported this assurance,  with what I could only call a series  of miracles, within thirty minutes,  the taxi was traced and my bag  retrieved. 

These are instances of protection.  There have also been times when  nothing has gone amiss or nothing  was alarming, yet grace has just  kept flowing, showing me a life of  abundance. Project after project,  opportunity after opportunity,  beautiful relationships—almost  as though I am a magnet drawing  immense good to myself. Grace! 

I have no words from my conscious  mind to explain why so much goes  right. Why this protection. I am  sure you feel it too. At times or all  the time. What is this Grace, and  what do we do to deserve it? And  how does it become ours for the  asking? 

I have realised that the more  blessed I feel, the more blessings  I draw into my life. So a part of  attracting this grace seems to be  in my control. Keeping myself  in a state of gratitude, love, bliss,  and a constant feeling of ‘I am so  

blessed!’ actually seems to keep  bringing more of it. I have trained  my mind to find something to feel  so blessed about. Feel blessed, and  blessings flow. Law of nature. Law  of attraction. Call it what you may,  but it works. Try it. 

There is a part of Grace that doesn’t  seem in my control. Something  about it feels very mysterious.  Beyond the finite mind. I believe  this is something Higher, Bigger,  Magnanimous, that is beyond my  understanding. In the first part,  my mind matters. Here, I believe  the more innocent and childlike  you are, the more it works. When  you simply believe that something  out there loves you so much and is  protecting you, it just works. For  me, God is a feeling. Of infinite  abundance, love, security, and  beauty. And it’s growing more by  the day. 

Grace. I believe each of us should  live a life that seems bathed in  divine light. Grace. I wish it upon  you. Me. And every person in the  world. Grace.
