(Painting by Sandhya: A depiction of
Sand dunes checking the Ocean)
“For
nothing in the world can prevail against perseverance. And even the greatest
things are always an accumulation of small and untiring efforts.
Enormous
boulders have been completely destroyed, worn by raindrops falling one after
another on the same spot. A grain of sand is nothing very powerful, but when
many come together, they form a dune and check the ocean.
And
when you learn about natural history, you will hear how mountains have been
formed under the sea by little animalcules piled one upon another, who by their
persistent efforts have made magnificent islands and archipelagos rise above
the waves.
Don’t
you think that your small, repeated efforts could also achieve great things?”
