kripa | कृपा
kripa (Devanagari: कृपा ISO15919: kr̥pā) means grace.
True grace can be bestowed only by those who meet two specific criteria:
- They desire nothing from anyone.
- What they possess does not diminish by giving.
Only God and God-realized Saints fulfill these conditions; no worldly being meets this standard. This kripa is primarily categorized into three types.
