Josei Toda wrote HR, Vol IX-
'When your life is at stake, you struggle with every single ounce of your energy. However, the battle against your own karma is even harder than that. Life and faith are exactly the same. To think that you can get through somehow, just because you believe in true Buddhism, is not real faith at all. When you try so hard that the sweat streams off your brow and you squeeze out wisdom, which you didn't even think you had, then you can make the impossible possible. And that's the time when the Gohonzon will protect you in every way, shape and form. There's no doubt about it. '
