What is the nature of divine grace?

definition
"Divine grace is not something to be earned; it is the ever-present divinity within you, waiting to be remembered. In meditation, you realize that the lamp was always lit, and the seeker and the sought are one."
According to Osho, divine grace is not a favor bestowed or a prize earned; it is the ever-present divinity that you already are. Nothing is attained—on awakening you simply remember. Meditation is this remembrance: the lamp was always lit. Hence worthiness and otherness drop; giver and receiver, path and goal, are one.
Grace isn’t something given to you; it’s like remembering you’re already in the ocean—you just wake up to it.
