201. I have learned two things. Not to be content with good states one has already developed, and not to give up trying. Without giving up, I keep trying and think: ‘Gladly would I have my skin, bones and sinews wither and my flesh and blood dry up, if only I can win that which can be won by human effort.’ It was by such earnest endeavor that I won enlightenment and the highest freedom from bonds.
