The empathic inter-human relation, according to Stein is a locus of Divine Grace wherein one along with the other involve in an attempt to orient themselves for higher values for which they are originally called by God in the order of Creation. This orientation as opening to the other is given to humans by God. In the light of Stein’s views on human existence as Divine Vocation, this study argues that by pointing out self’s fundamental opening as self of love and responsibility for the other, one can realize oneself as always and already otherwise-than-being.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Dharma}, author={Kadaviparambil, Gasper}, year={2020}, month={Sep.}, pages={453–468} }
