Effort to gain the grace supreme being

There are questions from people often as to whether there is a God who takes care of things in there is universe. This is the predicament that everyone faces especially when the chips are down. One should always make sure that one's quest for material wants should not be the only purpose to connect with the supreme being. The aspect of the supreme being may be different for every person; for some it may be a personal god with an image, for some it may be nature, for some it may be service and so on. The point is one should make sure that no matter what the form they consider to use their quest to acquire grace as per divine laws should be uppermost. Acquiring grace would mean that one makes an effort to give up vices, desires over a period of time. for example if one has a strong desire to smoke cigarettes and if that habit can be kicked by slowly reducing the consumption and eventually stopping it then the effort is in the right direction. This effort itself will set certain metaphysical forces in motion and the results may be seen in time. Now the effort has to be continuous. Again continuing with the example when one is among the company of other smokers, overcoming the urge to take a puff or drag is most important and if this sustained effort carries on the habit will die. Many great philosophers also say that is important to cultivate a good habit in the place of the bad habit. It is amazing when one is able to do this in small things. In time these efforts will pave way for a better understanding of the supreme being and also find grace. Ultimately one's spirituality grows with a great sense of fulfillment in our body, mind and soul
