Divya Sukta
The Colors of Grace
In the Sanskrit language, divya means divine and sukta refers to a statement that illumines the highest Truth. Divya Sukta: Teachings about the Divine.
Every morning before sunrise, I perform a puja to the sun god, Surya Devata, by facing east and offering water. Through this practice I express my gratitude for the light and warmth the sun gives us and I invoke blessings for good health, prosperity, and happiness.
In the last few days, I have noticed that when I perform this puja, there is a sudden brightness in the sky. Sometimes the sun will appear through the clouds just then, like a bright light. At other times, the light in the whole sky becomes dazzling for that moment.
When I read Gurumayi’s teaching in Divya Sukta 3, I realized that grace is showering upon me every single day.

My husband and I are engaged in helping two people who are close to us. Sometimes it is not easy. Today, I sat down to pray for patience and generosity. After reading Gurumayi’s teaching in “The Colors of Grace,” I realized that this situation contains God’s grace and encourages me to grow and become rooted in compassion and understanding.

Then, still listening to Gurumayi chant, I read Divya Sukta 3. As I contemplated Gurumayi’s words, I observed the synchronicity between them and my own experience of the light rain and how enveloped and filled I felt by the wonderful grace of God.

I was walking in the forest with my head hanging down, lost in some sorrowful thoughts, when suddenly I looked up along the trunk of a big tree, all the way to the top and beyond into the blue sky.
Spontaneously, I opened my arms wide and inhaled and exhaled deeply. I felt as if God’s love was flowing into every cell through my breath—as if God’s love is oxygen and flows into me through my breathing!
Now, with every inhale, I take God’s love into me. With every exhale, I offer my worship to God.
