If you want to become a Master of Arts, it takes a large number of years. You will have
to pass through the Matriculation, Intermediate and B.A. courses and then take up the M.A.
course. Even so, you will have to plod on and persevere for many years to remove the Mala and
the Vikshepa. How patiently does the fisherman wait with concentrated gaze to catch a single
fish! When such is the case for a trifling thing, what to speak of attaining Brahma-Jnana? It is
Kshurasya Dhara, walking along the blade of a sharp razor.

From "May I answer that" by Swami Sivananda (1987-1963). More Informations on Swami Sivananda: on the Website of Divine Life Society, Photographs of Swami Sivananda, German Pages on Swami Sivananda
