Sitaram Dass’s appearance on Be Here Now Network’s Mindrolling Podcast.

If I were to pick one word that is central to my spiritual worldview, it would be Grace. And yet, I often find it to be the most difficult to talk about. It is profound as Truth and simultaneously problematic as a concept. It is a word that points to the deep nature of Reality and our soul’s relationship with God, but any explanation I can possibly think of is problematic if taken literally and applied inappropriately.
