Having grasped what ought to be grasped, do not let go of the grip
till you succeed. Having desired what ought to be desired, hold
on till your desire is fulfilled. Having asked what ought to be
asked, hold on till your request is answered. Having thought
what ought to be thought, hold on till you succeed. Either God
should yield to your prayer or you should ask with wholehearted
intensity. That is the path a true devotee should pursue.
