Think about this: You may have experienced that when you do some task for a long time, you will correct your mistakes as and when you discover them. You also will avoid the repetition of the same mistake while continuing with the task; is it not? As you continue to perform these, you will invariably achieve even more success than you hoped to get! What is wanted in this circumstance, is just the unflagging desire to achieve victory. That will lead you to discover the means thereof to develop earnestness and care in the pursuit of those means and to invariably achieve success. The wish to succeed must be strengthened by the will, and the will, by the effort. Similarly, you must develop the desire to be devoted to God. If the wish is powerful, you will learn the means and practice with steadiness in effort to attain your wish.
- Divine Discourse, Prasanthi Vahini.
