Twenty hammer-strokes might not succeed in breaking a stone, the 21st stroke might break it. But does that mean that the 20 blows were of no avail? No, each of those 20 strokes contributed its share to the final success. The final result was the cumulative effect of all the 21. Infuse every moment of your life with Love for God. Then, evil tendencies will not hamper your path. The object of all spiritual practices is the destruction of the mind and some day, one good deed will succeed in destroying it. This triumph is the result of all the good deeds done in the past. So never give up, and no good deed will be a waste!
-Divine Discourse, Prema Vahini.
