For all those who are destined to find their inner being, the truth of their being, there is always at least one moment in life when they were no longer the same, perhaps just like a lightning-flash—but that is enough. It indicates the road one should take, it is the door that opens on this path. And so one must go through the door, and with perseverance and an unfailing steadfastness seek to renew the state which will lead one to something more real and more total. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/08/26-december-1956#p21</ref> It takes time, steadfast endeavour, long continued aspiration and a calm perseverance to get anywhere in Yoga; that time you do not give yourself because of these recurrent swingings away from the right attitude. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/31/attacks-by-the-hostile-forces#p16</ref> Persevere in your concentration till you come to the point when you no longer lose the inner contact. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/25-december-1950#p18</ref> 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>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/25-december-1950#p21</ref> And if you Persevere, you will see that all of a sudden you are relieved of a mass of meanness and ugliness and obscurity which was preventing you from flowering in the light. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/8-february-1951#p18</ref> The path of surrender is indeed difficult, but if one perseveres in it with sincerity, there is bound to be some success. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-central-processes-of-the-sadhana#p19</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>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/27-january-1951#p21</ref>
= How to Cultivate Perseverance? =
For a happy and effective life, the essentials are sincerity, humility, perseverance and an insatiable thirst for progress. Above all, one must be convinced of a limitless possibility of progress.No victory can be won without a fixed fidelity to the aim and a long effort. There is no other way than to persevere. 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. When one wants to change something, particularly of the material life - whether the character or the functioning of the organs or habits, one must have an unfaltering perseverance, be ready to begin again a hundred times the same thing with the same intensity with which one did it the first time and as though one had never done it before. When one wants to progress, the difficulty one wants to conquer immediately increases tenfold in importance and intensity in one’s consciousness. It is only by perseverance in aspiration or will that these difficulties can disappear. 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. It is thus that gradually, slowly, with perseverance, first of all with great care and much attention, one becomes conscious, learns to know oneself and then to become master of oneself. = How = 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.
