In the preliminary stages of meditation, the effort seems to come
entirely from yourself; you keep forcing your mind to remain
pointed at its object. But now you become aware of an outside
force, a magnetic power of attraction which draws your mind in the desired
direction, so that effort is no longer your own. This is what is known
as grace.
