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.
