It doesn't happen all at once though. It may be tiresome for the seed first to be a sprout, then a twig, then a saplingbut it is the fastest, in fact the only way to become an apple tree.';So it is with the soul. Self-realization is our divine destiny, but we can't get there in one leap. Perhaps your repeated failure is not caused by lack of will power but from lack of patiencetrying to reach the goal without first walking the path.';If you reach too far beyond your actual realization, inevitably you will collapse backperhaps to a place lower than where you started, if you define yourself now by your failure. You may think you are compromising your ideals to aim lower, but in fact that may be the surest route to success.';Spiritual progress is both a science and an art. The science is comprised of the divine laws of the universe; the art is to know which to apply and when.'
