Karachi,
1939.
It is very difficult to achieve anything by the person who does not have the quality of khanta meaning absence of the quality of persistence to achieve the goal. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is rather impossible to reach the goal in life for such a person. When there is no khanta, there is no enthusiasm or joy. That person will be passing the life as an idle and lazy person.
Person must have the passion, unshakable spirit of adventure and determination to finish the task. These associated qualities and tendency can never develop where there is no khanta. Even though the person has well thought of about the task on hand and has understood the need and appropriateness of the task; keeping purpose of the task on hand and eagerness of even dying (spirit of do or die) to achieve the goal springs up from the bhavna of khanta. There is care and determination to not abandon the task on hand when confronted with obstacles, This gives us comfort in any difficult situation and prevents us from being distanced--separated from our goal.
