It is mentioned that "Success begets success."
But how is success to be achieved and what is
the success you should aim at?
The persevering seeker secures wisdom.
This means that without perseverance and
earnestness no success can be achieved.
Man is not able to make significant progress
towards the Divine because of absence of strenuous striving
in the spiritual sphere.
Without spiritual practice, reading religious books
and listening to spiritual discourses have no value.
Study of scriptures and reciting God's names
may be good acts in themselves.
But, if there is no love, which is the basis of
all spiritual discipline, they are of no use.
