Could you speak about ways to cultivate intensity when you want to conquer obstacles to reach a goal?

Sri Chinmoy: There are two ways we can use. The first approach is through prayer. We have to pray to the Supreme, "Please, please bless me with intensity. Please give me abundant intensity." This is the first way. For a few days or a few months you can try this way.
The second way is to enter into your highest meditation. When you reach your absolutely highest meditation, just for two or three seconds utter the word 'intensity' with utmost will-power. When you utter the word 'intensity', like a bullet, intensity will enter into you. Not only will it enter into you, but it will also go out of you. Then this intensity will act like a miracle in your life. But ordinary meditation will not do. It has to be your own highest meditation.
