"Willpower should be understood to be the strength of the mind, which makes it capable of meeting success or failure with equanimity. Â It is not synonymous with certain success. Â Why should one's attempts always be attended by success? Â Success breeds arrogance and man's spiritual progress is thus arrested. Â Failure, on the other hand, is beneficial, inasmuch as it opens his eyes to his limitations and prepares him to surrender himself. Â Self surrender is synonymous with eternal happiness."
