\nWill and
\nPerseverance<\/font><\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0<\/span> <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n


\nWILL<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Will: power of
\nconsciousness turned towards effectuation. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A persevering will
\nsurmounts all obstacles. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One must have an
\nunvarying will to acquire what one does not have in one’s nature, to know what
\none does not yet know, to be able to do what one cannot yet do. <\/span><\/p>\n

One must progress
\nconstantly in the light and the peace which come from the absence of personal
\ndesire. <\/span><\/p>\n

If one has a strong will, he has only to
\norient it properly; if he has no will, he has first of all to build one for
\nhimself, which always takes long and is sometimes difficult. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Even
\nthe most beautiful thoughts will not make us progress unless we have a constant
\nwill for them to be expressed in us through nobler feelings, more exact sensations
\nand better actions. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u00a0<\/span><\/i>18 November 1951<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

My lower nature continues to do the same stupid <\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

things. You alone can change it. What are Your conditions? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1) to be convinced <\/i>that you can change<\/i>. <\/span><\/p>\n

2) to will to change
\nwithout accepting the excuses of the lower nature.<\/span><\/p>\n

3) to persist in the
\nwill in spite of every fall. <\/span><\/p>\n

4) to have an unshakable
\nfaith in the help you receive. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u00a0<\/span><\/i>7 April 1969<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n


\nAGNI<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The true Agni<\/span> always burns in deep peace; it is the fire of an
\nall-conquering will. <\/span><\/p>\n

Let it grow in you in
\nperfect equanimity. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Agni<\/span><\/span>: the flame of purification which must precede all contact with
\nthe invisible worlds. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n


\nRESOLUTION<\/a><\/span><\/b> <\/p>\n

Resolution: nothing can
\nstop its development. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We must gather ourselves
\nin a calm resolution and an unshakable certitude. <\/span><\/p>\n

Keep firm in your
\nresolution and everything will be all right. Love. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u00a0<\/span><\/i>28 October 1966<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Let your resolution be
\nintegral and constant and little by little your future will be revealed to you.

With love and blessings.

\nDETERMINATION<\/a><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is difficult to get
\nrid of all habits. They must be faced with a steady determination. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u00a0<\/span><\/i>19 July 1954<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

It is not because a
\nthing is difficult that one should give it up, on the contrary, the more a
\nthing is difficult the more determined should one be to succeed in it. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u00a0<\/span><\/i>1 July 1955<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Determination knows what
\nit wants and does it. <\/span><\/p>\n


\nSTEADY EFFORT<\/a><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ambitious plans
\ngenerally fall flat. It is better to go slow and steady. <\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage

<\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

Be steady and patient <\/span>―<\/span> everything will be all right. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>22 May 1934 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

You must keep your
\naspiration steady and be patient in your endeavour<\/span> <\/span>―<\/span> and you are sure of success. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>8 May 1937 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Steady efforts always
\nbring great results. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u00a0<\/span><\/i>25 April 1954<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Remaining steady in our
\neffort and quiet and firm in our determination, we are sure to reach the goal. <\/span><\/p>\n

Effort well-directed
\nbreaks down all obstacles. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Be steady in your
\naspiration and it is sure to be granted. <\/span><\/p>\n

Love. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u00a0<\/span><\/i>3 October 1966<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

No effort is lost. There
\nis always an answer, even if it is not perceived. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u00a0<\/span><\/i>7 December 1969<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Personal effort is
\nindispensable; without it nothing can be done. When the personal effort is
\nsincere the help is always there. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

All sincere effort to
\nprogress and get rid of dangerous habits is answered and supported by an active
\nhelp from the Grace <\/span>―<\/span> but the effort must be steady
\n<\/i>and the aspiration must be sincere<\/i>. <\/span><\/p>\n


\nPERSISTENCE<\/a><\/span><\/b> <\/p>\n

Do not worry, be patient
\nand persistent in your aspiration. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Persist in your aspiration and it will be fulfilled. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u00a0<\/span><\/i>12 September 1934<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Persist in your
\naspiration and your effort and you will succeed. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n\u00a0<\/span><\/i>12 June 1971<\/span><\/i> <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Continuity: knowing how
\nto persist in one’s effort. <\/span><\/p>\n


\n <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n


\nPERSEVERANCE<\/a><\/span><\/b> <\/p>\n

Perseverance: the
\ndecision to go to the very end. <\/span><\/p>\n

\nPage
\n<\/span>
\n―<\/span> 171<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

Perseverance is patience
\nin action. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Perseverance breaks down
\nall obstacles. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Persevere and all
\nobstacles will be conquered. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Persevere <\/span>―<\/span> it is the surest way to success. What you have not been able to
\nachieve in you last year, you will do this year. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>With
\nmy love and blessings. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What you are not able to
\ndo today, you will achieve tomorrow. Persevere and you shall conquer.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

Persevere in your aspiration and effort, do not allow yourself to
\nbe discouraged by setbacks. This always happens in the beginning. But if you
\ncontinue to fight without paying any attention to them, a day will come when
\nthe resistances give way and the difficulties vanish. My help is always with
\nyou, but you must learn to use it and to rely on it rather than on your own
\nresources. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>29 May 1956 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

It is by persevering <\/i>that one conquers
\ndifficulties, not by running away from them. One who perseveres is sure to
\ntriumph. Victory goes to the most enduring. Always do your best and the Lord
\nwill take care of the results. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>1961 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

What is obstinacy? How can one use it best? <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is the wrong use of a
\ngreat quality <\/span>―<\/span> perseverance. <\/span><\/p>\n

Make a good use of it
\nand it will be all right. <\/span><\/p>\n

Be obstinate in your
\neffort towards progress, and your obstinacy will become useful. <\/span><\/p>\n

\nMay 1971 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I already told you that
\nmy help is with you and will continue to be so <\/span>―<\/span> you
\nare sure to reach the goal but you must be very perseverant. To be constantly
\nin contact with the Truth is not easy and needs time and a great sincerity. But
\nyou can be sure of my guidance and my force. <\/span><\/p>\n

With love and blessings.
