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.

You must '''persevere''' in your effort until you do succeed.

You must be sincere in your '''perseverance'''<nowiki>; then the things you cannot do today, you will one day be able to do, after regular and persistent efforts.</nowiki> <ref>The Mother.

You must first have a great deal of '''perseverance''' in the search, for usually when one begins searching for these things the mind comes to give a hundred and one favourable explanations for your not needing to search. It tells you, "Why no, it is not at all your fault; it is this, it is that, it is the circumstances, it is the people, these are things received from outside—all kinds of excellent excuses, which, unless you are very firm in your resolution, make you let go, and then it is finished; and so, after a short time the whole business has to be started again, the bad impulse or the thing you didn't want, the movement you didn't want, comes back, and so you must begin everything over again—till the day you decide to perform the operation. When the operation is done it is over, one is free.

If one wants to take the trouble, one can enlarge his field considerably. But it asks for work, for '''perseverance''', a kind of assiduous effort.

There is only needed the '''perseverance''' to go on till this resistance breaks down.
