Question: I have full devotion and faith in God as advised by Babaji. But why is it that when I want to do something that will benefit me in the long run, I just can't go forward. I do hatha yoga but whenever the time comes for classes, I think of all kinds of excuses to skip them.  I have been doing it for two years and still consider myself a beginner. It seems that whatever I have a yearning for, doesn't happen.

Babaji:

Faith is required to be total and unconditional. With will power, one needs to put in effort without giving any excuse. Just like if you need to earn your livelihood and food you would not give any excuse for not working. In the same way stop giving excuses and work. Then God's grace will descend.
