As Trivakra knew who Sri Krishna was, Special Grace poured on her. The blind boy in Trichy did not know who Swami was, yet he too received Swami’s Special Grace. This Special Grace is impartial; it does not see differences. It is for this reason the nadi for the Stupi said that even wicked alcoholics will be liberated.
God showers His mercy on man in three ways,

• Compassion 
• Grace 
• Special Grace 

Special Grace is the highest state. These three are the states of the Avatar. First through compassion, God descends as Avatar. During His advent, He showers grace on some. The third state is that of Special Grace. When this Special Grace flows, it does not consider deservedness, it just pours.
In the year 1997, we released my first book ‘Liberation Here Itself Right Now’ in Puttaparthi. It was on this day Swami rode in the golden chariot for the first time and it was announced that according to the sacred nadis, ‘whomsoever saw Swami in the chariot would attain liberation’.
It was on this auspicious day that Swami touched my book; He removed the ribbon and released the book with His divine hands.
Swami asked me to offer Time in the Yagna on the same day He rode in the golden chariot. Both these acts of Special Grace are for the benefit of the world, for Universal Liberation.
