=== Perseverance in Concentration ===
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000;">Persevere in your concentration till you come to the point when you no longer lose the inner contact. <ref> The Mother.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000;">To attain that concentration much effort is necessary; an immediate or even a quick result is rarely possible. But if the inner door has once been opened, you may be sure that it will open again if you know how to Persevere. <ref> The Mother. (2002). 25 Dec &nbsp;1950.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000;">One has to Persevere till one can stand back from the mind as from the vital and feel the deeper and larger mental and vital Purushas within one which are capable of silence, capable of a straight receptivity of the true Word and Force as of the true silence <ref> Sri Aurobindo.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000;">It is always the vital being which protests and complains.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000;">One must be more obstinate than the obstinate material nature and </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000;">Persevere</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000;"> </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000;">until the light and truth can take permanent hold of the parts which are still responsive to the old movements.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000;">To work for your perfection, the first step is to become conscious of yourself, of the different parts of your being and their respective activities. You must learn to distinguish these different parts one from another, so that you may become clearly aware of the origin of the movements that occur in you, the many impulses, reactions and conflicting wills that drive you to action.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000;">It is from within that you must become master of your lower nature by establishing your consciousness firmly in a domain that is free of all desire and attachment because it is under the influence of the divine Light and Force.

It is those things which make you shrivel up, prevent you from widening yourself, opening out in a light where you have the impression of being very comfortable. If you make this effort, you will see finally that you are very far from the point where you had begun, the things you did not feel, did not understand, have become clear.
