\nT<\/font><\/span>he nature of
\nyour difficulty indicates the nature of the victory you will gain, the victory
\nyou will exemplify in Yoga. Thus, if there is persistent selfishness, it points
\nto a realisation of universality as your most prominent achievement in the
\nfuture. And, when selfishness is there, you have also the power to reverse this
\nvery difficulty into its opposite, a victory of utter wideness. <\/span><\/p>\n

When you have something to realise, you will have in you just the
\ncharacteristic which is the contradiction of that something. Face to face with
\nthe defect, the difficulty, you say, \u201cOh, I am like that! How awful it is!\u201d But
\nyou ought to see the truth of the situation. Say to yourself, \u201cMy difficulty
\nshows me clearly what I have ultimately to represent. To reach the absolute
\nnegation of it, the quality at the other pole \u2013 this is my mission.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Even in ordinary life, we have sometimes the experience of
\ncontraries. He who is very timid and has no courage in front of circumstances
\nproves capable of bearing the most! <\/span><\/p>\n

To one who
\nhas the aspiration for the Divine, the difficulty which is always before him is
\nthe door by which he will attain God in his own individual manner: it is his
\nparticular path towards the Divine Realisation. <\/span><\/p>\n

There is also the fact that if somebody has a hundred difficulties
\nit means he will have a tremendous realisation \u2013 provided, of course, there are
\nin him patience and endurance and he keeps the aspiring flame of Agni burning
\nagainst those defects. <\/span><\/p>\n

And remember: the Grace of the Divine is generally proportioned to
\nyour difficulties.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
