<div style="colorWhy is Perseverance Important? =''Q:#000000;"> </div>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>
