The Lord's grace is conferred on each devotee according to the level of spiritual consciousness. The ocean is vast and boundless. But the amount of water you can carry from it is determined by the size of the vessel you carry to its shore. If the vessel is small, you cannot fill it beyond its capacity. Likewise, if your heart is constricted, Divine grace will be equally limited. Broaden your heart by getting rid of narrow differences and thus recognize the truth that the Divine dwells in every body.
