Please read quotes 917-920 in The Seven Steps to Awakening with your inner teacher. Here is the last quote:
Why has it been said that one ought to make effort repeatedly to be in that state (our existence-consciousness) and ought to abide in it with more and more love? Because, until all the tendencies which drive one out of it are completely exhausted, this state will seem to come and go. Hence the need for continued effort and love to abide in the Self.
