Acharya Prashant explains the concept of grace, or 'kripa', by linking it to the nature of the ego. He states that the ego operates from a sense of doership, believing "I am the doer, and I will get something from my actions." This ego is a product of one's biological body and the various social, educational, and media influences one is subjected to. This conditioning is why individuals from different backgrounds, such as a Catholic from the US, an OBC from India, or a person from China, will have different thought processes, as their bodies, DNA, and upbringings are distinct. The ego, being a result of limited experiences and constrained conditioning, is inherently a small entity. Despite its smallness, it possesses great pride and claims authorship over actions, even those it does not control, like breathing. It takes credit for events that are often random or accidental. For instance, when a young man falls in love, he claims, "I fell in love," but this experience is largely predetermined by his conditioning and is as random as birth itself. The ego loves to claim doership but can achieve very little on its own because of its limited nature. Grace, according to Acharya Prashant, is what occurs when the ego recognizes its own limitations. Upon seeing its limits, the ego transcends them. The vast, hidden potential within an individual, which remains concealed because of the desire to stay within a small, familiar circle, becomes accessible. This availability of one's own inner potential is grace. It does not come from an external source but is the unlocking of the infinite power that already resides within. Most people live their entire lives without ever realizing their true capabilities. To illustrate this, he refers to the story of Hanuman in the Ramayana, who possessed the power to leap across the ocean but had forgotten it. When reminded of his inherent strength, the same Hanuman who was doubting the task's feasibility, rises to his full stature and declares he will accomplish it. This is not arrogance but a true awakening to one's own potential, which was previously unavailable. This is grace—the transcendence of one's inner limitations. Our deepest fear is not inadequacy, but that we are powerful beyond measure. We avoid our own power because remaining small is convenient, like a child or a patient who receives special care. Becoming great entails responsibility, which the ego shuns. Ultimately, the ego never wants to acknowledge its own power. It can only access this power when it moves beyond its self-imposed limitations. As long as the ego asserts "I am," its inner power remains locked. The moment one is prepared to set aside all that is biological and social, one becomes immeasurable and infinite. This state is grace. It is not something to be obtained through superficial means like talismans or specific foods.
