Willpower should be understood to be the strength of the mind, which makes it capable of meeting success or failure with equanimity. It is not synonymous with certain success. Why should one's attempts always be attended by success? Success breeds arrogance and man's spiritual progress is thus arrested. Failure, on the other hand, is beneficial, inasmuch as it opens his eyes to his limitations and prepares him to surrender himself. Self surrender is synonymous with eternal happiness.

The thing to do is to concentrate on the seer and not on the seen, not on the objects, but on the Light which reveals them.

There is neither Past nor Future. There is only the Present.

Why should you trouble yourself about the future? You do not even properly know about the present. Take care of the present, the future will take care of itself.

What comes will also go. What always is will alone remain.

A higher power is leading you; be led by the same. It knows what to do and how to do it.

Is it the world that says I am real, or is it you?
