Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have.

If, however, a man relegates God-realization to the domain of fate, he remains deprived of it; for no one has so far realized God as a matter of course by depending on one's luck. If liberation in the shape of God-realization could be automatically had, everyone would have been liberated till today. If, however, it is argued that God is realized through his grace it is no doubt true; but he alone gets the full benefit of his grace who recognizes his kindness to himself. Without recognizing his grace ever flowing towards oneself one remains deprived of its benefit. If, for example, a householder has a philosopher's stone in his possession but values it as no more than an ordinary stone, he remains deprived of the benefits accruing from a philosopher's stone. If, on the other hand, he brings it into touch with a piece of iron, knowing it to be a philosopher's stone, he comes to have its benefits. Similarly, God's supreme mercy extends on every living being; but failing to recognize it in full people remain deprived of its supreme benefit
