The Mother's brief written statements on various aspects of spiritual life including some spoken comments.
This volume consists primarily of brief written statements by the Mother on various aspects of spiritual life. Written between the late 1920s and the early 1970s, the statements have been compiled from her public messages, private notes, and correspondence with disciples. About two-thirds of them were written in English; the rest were written in French and appear here in English translation. The volume also contains a small number of spoken comments, most of them in English. Some are tape-recorded messages; others are reports by disciples that were later approved by the Mother for publication.
Perseverance: the decision to go to the very end.
Perseverance is patience in action.
Perseverance breaks down all obstacles.
Persevere and all obstacles will be conquered.
Persevere―it is the surest way to success. What you have not been able to achieve in you last year, you will do this year.
With my love and blessings.
Persevere in your aspiration and effort, do not allow yourself to be discouraged by setbacks. This always happens in the beginning. But if you continue to fight without paying any attention to them, a day will come when the resistances give way and the difficulties vanish. My help is always with you, but you must learn to use it and to rely on it rather than on your own resources.

What you are not able to do today, you will achieve tomorrow. Persevere and you shall conquer.
It is by persevering that one conquers difficulties, not by running away from them. One who perseveres is sure to triumph. Victory goes to the most enduring. Always do your best and the Lord will take care of the results.

What is obstinacy? How can one use it best?
It is the wrong use of a great quality―perseverance.
Make a good use of it and it will be all right.
Be obstinate in your effort towards progress, and your obstinacy will become useful.

I already told you that my help is with you and will continue to be so―you are sure to reach the goal but you must be very perseverant. To be constantly in contact with the Truth is not easy and needs time and a great sincerity. But you can be sure of my guidance and my force.
With love and blessings.
