The Lord is so full of grace that He will willingly guide and guard all who surrender to Him. When the battle with Ravana was over, one glance from His merciful eye was enough to revive the vanara hordes fallen on the ground and to heal the wounds they earned during the fight. There were some demons (rakshasas) who penetrated into the camp in vanara disguise; when they were brought before Rama for summary punishment, Rama smiled and pardoned them, for they assumed the monkey form so dear to Him. Rama indeed sent them away, unharmed to the enemy's camp. That was the measure of His mercy. To win that Grace, you must become permeated with dharma so that every act is God-worthy. With the sharp chisel of intellect (buddhi), shape the mind (manas) into a perfect image of Dharma-murti, the embodiment of dharma. Then, the rough-hewn idol of humanity that you now are, will shine with the splendour of Divinity itself! That’s the task to which you should dedicate yourself today!
