Steadfastness or fortitude is essential for achieving substantial success. The biographies of every successful person highlight the importance of having a constant purpose. This principle also applies to the pursuit of liberation.
In spiritual terms, fortitude is an internal quality. A Sattvic mind is characterized by deep concentration and firm control over thoughts, energies, and sense organs.
Hindu scriptures teach about dharma, which serves two primary purposes: one is to achieve merits that lead to heavenly rewards, and the other is to attain purity of mind.
However, both of these goals cannot be pursued simultaneously by the same person, as one focuses on selfish gain while the other emphasizes the release of selfishness.
A Sattvic mind seeks dharma to achieve purity of mind, whereas a Rajasic mind is primarily driven by worldly gains such as wealth, respect, and pleasure.
