→Attitude of a Sadhaka
===Attitude of a Sadhaka===
It is the fact that people who are grateful and cheerful and ready to go step by step, even by slow steps, if need be, do actually march faster and more surely than those who are impatient and in haste and at each step despair or murmur.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/patience-and-perseverance#p9</ref> <center>~</center>
The pure flame of gratefulness must always burn in our heart, warm, sweet and bright, to dissolve all egoism and all obscurity; the flame of gratefulness for the Supreme’s Grace who leads the sadhak to his goal - and the more he is grateful, recognises this action of the grace and is thankful for it, the shorter is the way.

<center>~</center> If you can't as yet remember the Divine all the time you are working, it does not greatly matter. To remember and dedicate at the beginning and give thanks at the end ought to be enough for the present. Or at the most to remember too when there is a pause. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/the-central-processes-of-the-sadhana#p24</ref> <center>~</center>
Those who have the immense privilege of being here quiet and in safety must at least show their gratitude by discarding all petty quarrels and silly grievances.
