A very high-minded giving person wrote the following:

"It is an erroneous belief that we can sit and meditate and all will come to us. No, that is a part of it but the path also takes hard work and dedication."

Yes, it's true that we don't want to sit idly by and just wait for God to come in and make miracles. God says that Himself in a Heavenletter which I am unable to pinpoint at this time. Nevertheless, I am unable to equate dedication with hard work.
