Poems on perseverance<\/strong> by Sri Chinmoy<\/p>\n

Perseverance
\nNever accepts
\nDefeat.<\/div>\n

1<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Perseverance
\nNever accepts
\nDefeat.<\/div>\n

2<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Patience and perseverance
\nAre of supreme importance
\nOn any spiritual path.<\/div>\n

3<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The mind takes perseverance
\nAs something
\nExtremely bitter.<\/div>\n

4<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The heart takes perseverance
\nAs something most essential
\nTo bring down
\nGod’s Compassion-Satisfaction
\nInto the heart-pocket of the seeker.<\/div>\n

5<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Perseverance, perseverance,
\nPerseverance!
\nYou can turn me into
\nA genius.<\/div>\n

6<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

What you need is patience,
\nWhat you need is perseverance
\nTo satisfy God
\nIn every human being.<\/div>\n

7<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The mind’s obedience
\nAnd
\nThe heart’s perseverance
\nTogether can accomplish
\nEverything they want to.<\/div>\n

8<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

No patience, no perseverance,
\nThe outer success and the inner progress
\nWill remain a far cry.<\/div>\n

9<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Perseverance
\nEventually shall arrive
\nAt the Golden Shore.<\/div>\n

10<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

His heart of patience
\nAnd his life of perseverance
\nHave at long last granted him
\nHeaven’s ever-increasing ecstasy-sky.<\/div>\n

11<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Life needs three things:
\nEffort, perseverance
\nAnd patience.<\/div>\n

12<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Perseverance
\nShatters the pride
\nOf impossibility.<\/div>\n

13<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

Tolerance in the inner world
\nAnd perseverance in the outer world
\nAre two extremely beautiful twins.<\/div>\n

Sri Chinmoy (13<\/a>)<\/p>\n
