“No effort is ever wasted.”
“No effort is ever wasted, although some pay dividends later than you think. Do not imagine that you "wasted your time" because something didn't turn out right. There is no such thing as "waste" in the Universe. Everything - everything - yields benefit. It's true. And your life will show you this. So don't decry the "effort that failed." All things lead to your highest good. You just may not know it yet.”

Similarly the Soul (the Real Self) is moksha-swaroop, by its own inherent nature (liberation is the nature of the Self). Therefore, the Gnani Purush [the enlightened one] through His grace paves the way for you. Moksha is attained by following the Gnani’s Agnas [commandments of the enlightened one], you don’t have to exert any effort for it. Effort gives rise to the worldly life. All these ‘fruits’ you are reaping now are due to all the penance and rosaries you had done.”
