Each time a chosen one faces a challenge, his faith is given a test, and he comes closer to the Divine if he has a profound Sraddha, a will made up of Faith and Love. In this yoga one needs faith that the Divine exists and will reveal Himself in response to our sincere aspiration by His own Grace. Once this fundamental faith is there, a thousand failures cannot stop him achieving the goal. All the men who have ever achieved anything worthwhile have persisted, despite the obstacles on their way, with faith and will to continue until they find what they are seeking.
