Persevere―it is the surest way to success. What you have not been able to achieve in you last year, you will do this year. <ref> The Mother. (2003). Perseverance. In "Words of the Mother 2". http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/perseverance#p5 </ref>
 
<center>~</center>
The source of sincerity, of will, of perseverance is in the psychic being, but this translates itself differently in different people. <ref>The Mother. (2002). 26 March 1951. In "Questions and answers (1950 - 1951)". http://incarnateword.in/cwm/04/26-march-1951#p27 </ref>

The psychic being works with perseverance and ardour for the union to be made an accomplished fact, but it never complains and knows how to wait for the hour of realisation to come. <ref>The Mother. (2003). The Soul (the Psychic). In "Words of the Mother 2". http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/the-soul-the-psychic#p57 </ref>
= Why is Perseverance important Important? =''Q: Sometimes there are latent powers in us of which we are unaware. To do a work, how is one to know whether one is capable of doing it or not?''
A: 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. <ref> The Mother. (1998). 14 October 1953. In "Questions and answers (1953)". http://incarnateword.in/cwm/05/14-october-1953#p40 </ref>
You must be sincere in your perseverance ; then the things you cannot do today, you will one day be able to do, after regular and persistent efforts. <ref>The Mother. (2003). 4 january 1972. In "More answers from the Mother". http://incarnateword.in/cwm/17/4-january-1972#p1 </ref>
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. <ref>The Mother. (2003). 16 march 1955. In "Questions and answers (1955)". http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/16-march-1955#p9 </ref>
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. <ref>The Mother. (2003). 18 may 1955. In "Questions and answers (1955)". http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/18-may-1955#p88 </ref>

Unless one has an endless patience and an unshakable perseverance, it is better not to start on the way of transformation. <ref>The Mother. (2003). Transformation. In "Words of the Mother 3". http://incarnateword.in/cwm/15/transformation#p21 </ref>

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 you must go through the door, and with perseverance and an unfailing steadfastness seek to renew the state which will lead you to something more real and more total. <ref>The Mother. (2003). 26 Dec 1956. In "Questions and answers (1956)". http://incarnateword.in/cwm/08/26-december-1956#p21 </ref>

All the methods of self-knowledge, self-control and self-mastery are good. You have to choose the one that comes to you spontaneously and best corresponds to your nature. And once having chosen the method, you must use your intelligent will to apply it with an unfailing perseverance that does not shrink from any obstacle, any difficulty. It is a long and minute work which must be undertaken with sincerity and continued with an increasing sincerity ever more scrupulous and integral. <ref>The Mother. (2003). 28 July 1960. In "Some answers from the Mother". http://incarnateword.in/cwm/16/28-july-1960#p4 </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. It is those things which make you shrivel up, prevent you from widening yourself, opening out in a light where you have the impression of being very comfortable. If you make this effort, you will see finally that you are very far from the point where you had begun, the things you did not feel, did not understand, have become clear. If you are resolved, you are sure to succeed. <ref>The Mother. (2002). 8 february 1951.
