Kala, Kripa (Grace)

Kala:

 Kala/ कला from physical body comes out through speech as well as gaze. Through more kala comes out as compared to speech, thus just by seeing one can fathom a person. The person in which pure kala is working, he is initiated one, his Kundalini/ कुण्डलिनी has awakened. Now question is where do these kalas go after getting out from its source? Lower level jeevas are made out of it. So we can say on one side, kala is sent out and other side it is being received. The kala which is descending from the upper realm is being taken up by the lower realm. 

Kala which is coming out of the Mandal/ मण्डल gets collected by Golok;

Kala which is sent out by Golok/ गोलोक is being collected by Dhruvlok;

Kala which is issued by dhruv lok/ ध्रुवलोक is collected by Swarglok/ स्वर्गलोक (heaven);

Kala which is sent out by heaven, descends through two paths,

1. Descends through Devlok/ देवलोक (Divine realm) into the forehead, this happens in case of uninitiated person.

2. Descends through pure path and descends near initiated person. 

Jhatika kala (झटिका कला) which is descending from upper level jeevasis received by lower jeevas. 

All gross matter has grades, that is why kalas are. Who consumes kala? Its Agni or fire. All fires cannot eat all kalas. Kala which is above the forehead, that cannot be consumed by Agni because that is Amrit kala (अमृतकला). Agni (अग्नि)/ fire is Kaal or time. Agnikala descends from kaal in the form of Mrityu/ मृत्यु (death)-kala/ कला. This is impurity of bhav and birth etc. 

Shudh or Pure kala never leaves a person, only impure kala comes out. Pure kala (शुद्ध कला) is assimilated inside. It is never annihilated but a veil is put over it. 

Kripa (Grace):

One who is complete or poorn only they are free and beyond duality. While mukt or Siddh jeevas are still bound. Thus kripa or grace can be provided by only one who is complete. This grace is of two kinds, one is ordinary and other is special. The purpose of kripa (कृपा) or grace is brng the jeev out of pain. 

A complete person can provide Kripa and there is no karm involved in it but only their desire. A mukt jeev can also provide kripa but are under the spell of karma i.e. keeping the karmas in mind. While a Siddha cannot provide kripa or Grace but can provide karmphal daan (कर्मफल दान), what ever karmas have been performed by the jeeva (जीव), siddhas (सिद्ध) can provide fruit of that to them at anytime. 

Thus Mukt jeev (मुक्त जीव) can perform ordinary grave becasue they are also under the spell of duality. Desire of mukt does not work on the desire of jeev, till he accepts mukt's desire. Till jeev does not accept the desire of the mukt his pain do not get relieved or removed. This is the ordinary kripa o brahm. for example, Sun is shinning everywhere, but a blind person cannot see it. This shinning is ordinary grace but you have to have qualification for it. Such Kripa or grace can exhaust the collected (Sanchit/ सञ्चित) karmas of the jeev but they cannot change jeev's prarabdh (प्रारब्ध)/ Niyati (नियती), i.e. what has been decided for him. Because desire of the poorn or complete Brahm is known as Prarabdh (प्रारब्ध). Thus by the desire of A-parbrahm (अपरब्रह्म) or A-Parmukt (अपरामुक्त), those cannot be removed or exhausted. Prarabdh (प्रारब्ध) is exhausted through bhog/ भोग or experiencing. By experiencing pain, sins are consumed by experiencing pleasures, good karmas are consumed. Actually Pain (दुख) and Pleasure (सुख) form Prarabdh is the desire of the poorn (पूर्ण) or complete.

Siddh jeevas and divines cannot provide full grace. If they are mukt and bhakt then they can provide ordinary grace and partial higher grace but under some rules and regulations only. They can only provide the fruit of the karmas performed by jeeva at any time. Suppressing his pain, they can attract the good karma of his from distance and provide him partial relief at that time. 

Till one realizes self, one always remians in the normal gaze of the lord. When parabhakti arises only then his special gaze falls on the jeeva. By awakening of Kundalini and initiation from Guru, jeeva comes under the gaze of lords Shakti. Thus first in the gaze of Devata and later when Kundalini rises fully, then Mahamaya's gaze. One who has not been initiated, he falls out of the gaze of divine and comes under the gaze of kaal/ time/ death/ mrityu.
