435. Faith and personal effort

```

Lord, can faith be increased

By personal effort?

“Yes, faith can be increased

By personal effort

Provided

One knows the real meaning

Of personal effort.”

What is personal effort?

“Personal effort is nothing but

Unseen and unrecognised Grace.”

What is the other Grace,

I mean normal Grace?

“That Grace is called

Universal shower.” ```
