God is no stony-hearted despot. He is compassion. He draws you near and grants you consolation and courage.
God's grace is like insurance; it will help you in your time of need without any limit.
The word Kaalam (time) is derived from Kaa + Alam. This means that God, embodiment of Time, is the one who rewards people according to their deserts. God does not submit to worldly offerings, worldly authority or worldly power. HE responds only to spiritual aspirations.
Some say that the Lord punishes some and favors others. Let Me tell you, the Lord does neither. He is like the electric current that rotates the electric chair and makes one's life shorter. The Lord's Grace is like the wind that blows. Roll up your sails and the boat hardly moves; unfurl them, it moves faster and faster. It is like the light; one person does good in its illumination, another executes an evil plan with its help.
