Should I rely on my own karma or on God's grace?

Trust both karma and grace

People trust only karma, only the Lord's grace, or both. Trust both karma and the Lord's grace, and the Ramcharitmanas itself speaks of karma.

In our view, neither one who trusts only karma is best, nor one who trusts only the Lord; the best is one who trusts both karma and the Lord's grace.
