According to Osho, Krishna links “effortlessly” with grace because he teaches the path of surrender, not self-willed effort. When the seeker lets go and entrusts everything to the Divine, nothing more remains to be done; love and prayer invite grace, and the crossing happens by itself. Effort belongs to the dry path of resolve; surrender allows grace to act effortlessly.
If you stop trying to control and trust like holding a loving hand with eyes closed, grace carries you across.
