नेहाभिक्रमनाशोऽस्ति प्रत्यवायो न विद्यते। स्वल्पमप्यस्य धर्मस्य त्रायते महतो भयात्॥

What this verse is about
This verse speaks to fear, especially of things we cannot fully control, effort, and why small effort still counts, and staying with something longer than feels comfortable.
✦ Contemplation
Small efforts keep working inside you, even when nothing seems to be happening.
✦ A small practice
Before calling a small effort useless, give it one more day.
