→Persevere during Difficulties
It is only by perseverance in aspiration or will that this difficulty can disappear. <ref>Sri Aurobindo. (2014). Difficulties of the Physical Nature. In "Letters on yoga 4". http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/difficulties-of-the-physical-nature#p65 </ref>
What is needed is perseverance—to go on without discouragement, recognising that the process of the nature and the action of the Mother's force is working through the difficulty even and will do all that is needed. <ref>Sri Aurobindo. (2014). Time and Change of the Nature. In "Letters on yoga 4". http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/time-and-change-of-the-nature#p7 </ref>
Face all these things [inner disturbances] quietly and firmly with perseverance in the endeavour of the sadhana. Trust firmly in the Divine Grace and the Divine Grace will not fail you. <ref>Sri Aurobindo. (2013). The Divine Grace and Guidance. In "Letters on yoga 2". http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-divine-grace-and-guidance#p24 </ref>
It is a long and meticulous work that requires much perseverance, but the result is worth the trouble, for it brings not only mastery but also the possibility of the transformation and illumination of the consciousness. <ref>The Mother. (2003). 28 August 1969. In "Some answers from the mother". http://incarnateword.in/cwm/16/28-august-1969#p5 </ref>
