perseverance

Perseverence 
haṁsa uvāca || etat kāryam amarāḥ saṁśrutaṁ me dhṛtiḥ śamaḥ satya dharmānuvṛttiḥ | granthiṁ vinīya hṛdayasya sarvaṁ priyāpriye cātmavaśaṁ nayīta || 71 || 
The mendicant Rishi said:– "O immortals, I've heard that by untying all the knots in the heart by the aid of tranquility, and by mastery over all the passions, and observance of Dharma, one should, through constant practice transcend both the agreeable and the disagreeable. 
anirvedaḥ śriyo mūlaṁ lābhasya śubhasya ca | mahān bhavaty anirviṇṇaḥ sukhaṁ cātyantam aśnute || 72 || 
Perseverance is the root of prosperity, of profit and of what is beneficial. One who pursues a project with perseverance and without giving it up in vexation, is really great, and enjoys unending happiness."
