We bow down to Him by His grace

When one hears many disheartening stories and sees such things, one's faith in the Divine naturally breaks and disappears. How come in India and in the world despite so many horrors there are people who have firm faith in God and in the spiritual path ? How can I also get that type of faith and love in my heart ?

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

This is verily a standing example for the fact that faith in God also comes by only by His grace. In Thiruvachagam, Sri Manickavachagar beautifully puts it as 'avan arulAlE avan thAL vaNangi' which means, 'we bow down to Him by His grace'.

சிவன் அவன் என் சிந்தையுள் நின்ற அதனால்

அவன் அருளாலே அவன் தாள் வணங்கி
