Nothing else counts. That&#039;s everything. Only that.<\/p>\n<p>And so, after all, one does not care a rap for obstacles and difficulties. What can that do to you?&#8230; It does not count. One laughs at time also. What does it matter to you if it takes long? For a much longer time you will have the joy of aspiration, of consecration, of self-giving.<\/p>\n<p>For this is the one true joy. And this joy fades away when there is something egoistic, and because there is a demand which one calls a need &#8211; which is mixed in the consecration. Otherwise the joy never disappears.<\/p>\n<p>This is the first thing one obtains, and the last one realises. And it is the sign of Victory.<\/p>\n<p>So long as you cannot be in joy, a constant, calm, peaceful, luminous, invariable joy, well, it means that you have still to work to purify yourself, and sometimes work hard. But this is the sign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-4697","inspiration","type-inspiration","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aurobook.saorg.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/inspiration\/4697","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aurobook.saorg.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/inspiration"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aurobook.saorg.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/inspiration"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aurobook.saorg.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4697"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
