Your obstinacy towards your goals gives you ignition which leads to your success.

One is to cross this ocean in the form of obstinacy. We are standing on this side of obstinacy and we have to go to the other side. If someone becomes instrumental in removing your obstinacy; do not be disturbed about it, consider him to be extremely beneficial and undergo that experience with equanimity.

One should not be obstinate even in worldly interaction. If you are obstinate with a __ollector_, what will he do? He will throw you in jail. So then what will happen if you are obstinate with God? God won__ put you in jail, but his happiness upon you will break (will go away).

What is it that doesn__ allow you to go to moksha? Obstinacy!

There should be no tenacity of insistence or obstinate insistence of any kind. If there is any tenacity, it should be the kind that will go away if you tell it to!

We love being mentally strong, but we hate situations that allow us to put our mental strength to good use.
