Tomato plant starts giving fruit after one month. But the mango tree starts giving fruit about after five year. Fruition of insignificant efforts can be attained soon.
But one who is desirous of great fruition will have to do great effort. A hut can be built in three hours but the palace cannot be built even in three centuries. Duration of a hut is at the most two or four months where as duration of the palace is thousands of years. So calmly think of the goal and success of your life. The greater the success you want, the greater the effort and time is required. Do you not know that only a spoonful of water can be sweeter with four grains of sugar, not a complete tank or drum. Similarly, you can attain happiness for a moment by a little virtuous work, not eternal happiness. Great penance is necessary to get eternal bliss.
