   Have you considered that perhaps this grasping and striving after your   
   ability to deliver shaktipat might possibly keep you in those low years as   
   long as you keep trying so hard?   
   That if you might just give up this personal striving and surrender, those   
   low years might end?   
   Perhaps it is the purpose of those low years to get you over that need for   
   proof of personal abilities, and they will last as long as you still feel   
   that need.   
   Just let go.
