Working on one's tendencies is among the challenges an aspirant must take up, in progressing on the way to realisation.

"Nothing can be obtained without steadfastness and perseverance. The way to wisdom winds among temptations of all kinds which attract the senses of the aspirants. The attributes of maya are frightening; they inhibit man, to the extent of hiding from him the reality of his incarnation on the Earth.

"The spiritual quest opens prospects to him. He then understands the frailty of his existence; little by little, he realises why he came and what he must do. Will he have the necessary courage? Man is fragile and easily influenced. His determination must help him overcome inhibiting tendencies. Each human being goes through this kind of test. Will he come out of it victorious? Some aspects to consider are: where exactly is he on the path, and who can tell – apart from the Master to whom he has entrusted his destiny? Without him, the rise is difficult; even with help, it is so. But with his assistance, success is guaranteed.

"God is great and His mercy rewards willing hearts."
