What Is More Important: Effort or Grace?

Effort is usually encouraged in us from childhood onwards. It is believed to be a key factor in mastering new skills and fostering abilities. Success is achieved by effort and keeps one focused on goals. But is that all that is needed? Does effort guarantee success in all aspects of our lives? Or is there something more?

Sadhguru looks at the difference between doing spiritual sadhana and allowing another dimension, that of Grace, to function. He explains that while action easily finds recognition in society, it is also a limited process. Even a simple task, such as baking bread, requires equal parts of doing and allowing things to happen.
