PROCEDURE:

You Create Yourself Every Moment”

“Beauty creates temptation in another, only grace creates respect”

One version of the great Indian epic Ramāyaṇa says that when princess Sītā, the incarnation of Devi Lakṣmi, entered the court of King Janaka, her father, all the great kings, monks and mystics stood up automatically. This was not a protocol. The grace she radiated caused this response in them. Beauty can create only temptation in the other person. Only grace can create respect. The grace radiating from Sītā’s being made everybody stand up.

conclution:

Grace is radiated by meditation. Grace makes the occupant feel at home. It soothes the atmosphere. Grace creates calmness, satva. Through meditation we can clear our saṃskāras and be reborn. We can change our features, our character and behavior, all by reprogramming our saṃskāras. That is why people radiate grace after they start meditation
