Changes

The habit of remembering and applying one's knowledge at the right moment comes only by a great patience and perseverance which refuses to be discouraged by frequent failure. <ref> Sri Aurobindo. (2014). The Emergence or Coming Forward of the Psychic. In "Letters on yoga 3". http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/the-emergence-or-coming-forward-of-the-psychic#p42 </ref>

You must arm yourself with great patience, great patience, and not think that you are good for nothing because it takes so much time. You must never be despondent, never tell yourself, "Oh! This is not for me!" Everyone can do it, if he puts into it the time, the courage, the endurance and the perseverance that are demanded. <ref> The Mother. (2003). 251 June 1958. In "Questions and answers (1957 - 1958)". http://incarnateword.in/cwm/09/25-june-1958#p8 </ref>

An untiring patience and a perseverance which assures you that what you have not succeeded in doing today, you will succeed in doing another time, and makes you go on trying until you do succeed. <ref> The Mother. (2003). 12 Dec 1956. In "Questions and answers (1956)". http://incarnateword.in/cwm/08/12-december-1956#p47 </ref>

It is not an easy path, you will need time, you will need patience. You will need much endurance, much perseverance and courage and an untiring goodwill. <ref> The Mother. (2003). 22 Dec 1954. In "Questions and answers (1954)". http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/22-december-1954#p28 </ref>

It is not an impossible discipline but it is extremely long and requires an unshakable patience, for it is as if you wanted to build up in you a being, a body; and for that you require first of all the necessary knowledge, but also such a prolonged persistence and perseverance as would discourage many. But it is altogether indispensable if you want to take part in the knowledge of your higher being. <ref> The Mother. (2002). 27 January 1951. In "Questions and answers (1950 - 1951)". http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/27-january-1951#p21 </ref>

How can one know whether one is capable of doing it or not! By trying. That's the best thing. And if you do not succeed immediately, Persevere. And you must know that if a strong urge, a very strong urge to do something comes to you, that means this work has something to do with you and you are capable of doing it. But one can have powers which are so well hidden that one has to dig long before finding them. So you must not get discouraged at the first setback, you must persist. <ref> The Mother. (1998). 14 October 1953. In "Questions and answers (1953)". http://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/14-october-1953#p40 </ref>

Force which is here and is given consciously, constantly, with an endless perseverance and patience, only for one sole purpose, that of realising the divine work. <ref> The Mother. (2003). 2 June 1954. In "Questions and answers (1954)". http://incarnateword.in/cwm/06/2-june-1954#p24 </ref>

The self-perfection or even simply the self-improvement of each individual body is a problem to be solved, and its solution demands much patience, perseverance and regularity. <ref> The Mother. (2003). The Four Austerities and the Four Liberations. In "On education". http://incarnateword.in/cwm/12/the-four-austerities-and-the-four-liberations#p16 </ref>
