Pray until God relents When we fill the atmosphere with hatred we too have to perforce breathe the same air, and are hated in turn. When we saturate the air with sounds full of reverence, humility, love, courage, self-confidence and tolerance, we benefit from those qualities ourselves. The heart is the film and the mind is the lens; turn the lens towards the world and worldly pictures fall on the heart. Turn it towards God and it will transmit the pictures of the Divine. Cast away the vice of egoism, the evil of greed and the poison of envy. When you seek joy from something outside you, remember that a joy far greater lies in wait within your own inner consciousness. When you are afraid of someone or something outside you, remind yourself that the fear is born, fed and fertilized in your mind, and that you can overcome it by denying it. Faith in the Almighty God is the impregnable armour that the aspirant can wear, and people of all lands are aspirants, whether they know it or not. Be steady, do not waver, keep straight on, hold fast to the ideal without despair. Pray until God relents; do not turn away sadly if God does not shower Grace when you expect it.
