Whatever method of development is chosen, determination and '''perseverance''' are indispensable to obtain success.

To change one's body one must be ready to do millions of times the same thing, because the body is a creature of habits and functions by routine, and because to destroy a routine one must '''persevere''' for years.

To be constantly mindful of the true nature of the body, not to seek what is evil, to pursue with '''perseverance''' what is good, is to have right understanding; thus, all one's impurity disappears.

=== Persevere during Difficulties ===

It is by persevering that one conquers difficulties, not by running away from them. One who '''perseveres''' is sure to triumph. Victory goes to the most enduring. Always do your best and the Lord will take care of the results.

You may not know at every moment what is the best thing to do or how to do it, but you can place your will at the disposal of the Divine to do the best possible, the best thing possible. You will see it will have marvelous results. Do this with consciousness, sincerity and '''perseverance''' and you will find yourself getting along with gigantic strides.

Victory is certain if we '''persevere''' and what price of difficulty and endeavour can be too great for such a conquest?

'''Persevere''' in your aspiration and effort, do not allow yourself to be discouraged by setbacks. This always happens in the beginning. But if you continue to fight without paying any attention to them, a day will come when the resistances give way and the difficulties vanish. My help is always with you, but you must learn to use it and to rely on it rather than on your own resources.

The more you advance, the more vigilant must you become. And the most essential quality is '''perseverance''', endurance, and a... what shall I call it?—a kind of inner good humour which helps you not to get discouraged, not to become sad, and to face all difficulties with a smile.

If there are always forces around which are concerned to depress and discourage, there are always forces above and around us which we can draw upon,—draw into ourselves to restore, to fill up again with strength and faith and joy and the power that '''perseveres''' and conquers
