A “sure-fire”*, most-excellent, winning way; that is easy, not hard (though there is some small aspect that needs to be hard for the whole thing to work - hard as nails). Easy, though there is definitely a need for diligence, and discipline, and dependence (=discipleship).
* Not that I won’t experience a full on simulation of pulling the trigger and hearing only a click. No apparent projectile emerges. “Sure-fire” here is meaning primarily “sure”, “never fails”, “certain”, “won’t let you down”, “will never fail”... all of which words or phrases are not labels, but signposts, which point to something that you see when you look past the sign in the direction it is pointing. The multiplicity of signposts (words), especially if from different angles, can help you to pinpoint the actuality (that no label can permanently stick to), and come to actually know (easily), that which otherwise, by word-labels only, would be unknowable.
