Grace is ever present. All that is necessary is that you surrender to it.

Willpower should be understood to be the strength of the mind, which makes it capable of meeting success or failure with equanimity. It is not synonymous with certain success. Why should one's attempts always be attended by success? Success breeds arrogance and man's spiritual progress is thus arrested. Failure, on the other hand, is beneficial, inasmuch as it opens his eyes to his limitations and prepares him to surrender himself. Self surrender is synonymous with eternal happiness.

The solution to your problem is to see who has it.

The self is known to every one but not clearly. You always exist.

Nearly all mankind is more or less unhappy because nearly all do not know the true Self. Real happiness abides in Self-knowledge alone. All else is fleeting. To know one's Self is to be blissful always.

When there are thoughts, it is distraction: when there are no thoughts, it is meditation.

The body dies, but the spirit that transcends it cannot be touched by death.
