- At the end of the class, one devotee asked as which is more important than other i.e., Saadhna (Efforts / Practice) or Krupa (Mercy). Maataji has very beautifully explained that both Saadhana & Krupa are required for progress in one’s devotional life. Without Saadhana, one cannot get Mercy. A beautiful example was given that many people say that we don’t have mercy of the Lord, that’s why we could not go to the temple. That’s wrong. First we should put our saadhana / efforts to go to temple and in case, if there is some causality and untoward incident enroute and could not got to temple, then we can say that he doesn’t have the mercy of the lord for visiting the temple. Maataji explained that path is shown, doors are opened, it is up to us whether we want to reach HIM or not. Therefore, Saadhana is more important and once there is Saadhana, automatically, we get the mercy of the Lord.
