Courage
True
courage, in its deepest sense, is to be able to face
everything, everything in life, from the smallest
to the greatest things, from material things to those
of the spirit, without a shudder, without physically...
without the heart beginning to beat faster, without
the nerves trembling or the slightest emotion in any
part of the being. Face everything with a constant
consciousness of the divine Presence, with a total
self-giving to the Divine, and the whole being unified
in this will; then one can go forward in life, can
face anything whatever, I say, without a shudder,
without a vibration; this, you know, is the result
of a long effort, unless one is born with a special
grace, born like that. But this is still more rare.
