Is the rectification not enough to get God's grace as He is the ocean of kindness?

[Smt. Chhanda Chandra asked: Padanamaskaram Swami, in the reply of Thrylokya's question "Is it true that one can think of God only when His grace exists?" l would like to further clarify myself that even if the person is able to find out the fault with himself and tries to rectify (in the form of efforts as per his understanding), will then also God's grace is required to think about God? Is the rectification not enough to get God's grace as He is the ocean of kindness? if not, how shall he understand that he is in the right /wrong direction and move further in the spiritual path without God's grace? At your divine lotus feet Swami, By, Chhanda Chandra]

Swami Replied:- When there is no fault in the spiritual effort, God’s grace will automatically fall upon the devotee. If you say that rectification of the defect itself is sufficient to think about God without the grace of God, you are reducing the value of God. After all, the ultimate goal of thinking about God is also to get God’s grace only. Hence, God’s grace is the most important factor at every step of the spiritual journey.
