There is only one thing that's important: that is a sincere and persistent will, for these things don't happen in a twinkling. So one must '''persevere'''. When someone feels that he is not advancing, he must not get discouraged; he must try to find out what it is in the nature that is opposing, and then make the necessary progress. And suddenly one goes forward.

When one wants to change something 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.

Whatever you do, never forget the goal which you have set before you. There is nothing great or small once you have set out on this great discovery; all things are equally important and can either hasten or delay its success. Thus before you eat, concentrate a few seconds in the aspiration that the food you are about to eat may bring your body the substance it needs to serve as a solid basis for your effort towards the great discovery, and give it the energy for persistence and '''perseverance''' in the effort.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The most important point (what everybody says but only a few do) is to put into practice what you know. With that you have a good chance of succeeding, and with '''perseverance''' you will certainly get there.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Patience, '''perseverance''', generosity, broad-mindedness, insight, calm and understanding firmness, and control over the ego until it is completely mastered or even abolished.
