Grace (Kripa) is the divine compassion that flows unbidden from God to the devoted soul. Hindu scriptures teach that while self-effort is essential, ultimate liberation comes through the grace of the divine. These shlokas reveal how God's grace operates — boundless, unconditional, and ever-present for those who seek it with sincerity.
