Patience

As long as this earth remains stable, with rivers flowing and mountains standing, the great Ramayana will endure.

May God and Eternal Wisdom grant us the ability to remain as steadfast and unchanged as God Himself. Amen.

Kabir says that this earth belongs to the saints, but thieves have occupied it and are exploiting it. The earth cannot bear the burden of such sinners, but it endures because of the saints.

You will need to struggle for a long time with patience and perseverance to achieve this. For a seeker with unwavering determination and unshakeable resolve, nothing is impossible.

There is one God, one Dharma, and steadfast single-pointed devotion is the supreme austerity. There is nothing higher than the Guru — no reality, no principle, transcends the Guru.

Try to be happy in any situation you are in. Do not complain. Endure sufferings. You can conquer nature. For one who knows Brahman, the world is insignificant.

The Spirit within, which is smaller than a human finger, resides forever in the hearts of all beings. One must patiently separate it from the body, just as one separates the main fiber from a blade of grass.

When one realizes the bodiless self within bodies, the established self amidst uncertainty, and the great, all-pervading self, the wise and steadfast soul no longer grieves.

Love me with all your heart, for I am omnipresent and friendly to all. Worship me with a steadfast vow.

Listen, O contemplative ascetic! If a patient, distracted by his illness, asks for something that is harmful to him, the doctor will not give it to him. In the same way, I have decided to do what is best for you.

This is the meaning of that Koranic verse, 'The good things endure.'

The person who, with devotion and perseverance, recites the thousand names of Vasudeva daily, after purifying themselves, will attain great fame, prominence among their family, lasting prosperity, and ultimately, the highest benefit - liberation.

Whatever actions a person performs in any given body, they will have to endure the consequences of those actions in that same body.

For all worldly things, perfect contentment, giving up all kinds of hopes, and patience - these are the greatest good for one who has controlled their senses and gained self-knowledge.

Wait upon them with reverence and seek their guidance. Act according to the instructions you receive from wise people who are committed to righteousness.

Patience, joy, prosperity, satisfaction, and happiness are qualities associated with the attribute of Sattwa. These include purity, health, contentment, faith, liberality, compassion, forgiveness, and firmness. One also finds benevolence, equanimity, truth, and the fulfillment of obligations, as well as mildness, modesty, calmness, and simplicity. Additionally, there is observance of obligatory practices, dispassionateness, fearlessness, and disregard for the concept of good or evil. These qualities also involve appropriating objects only when obtained by gift, absence of greed, regard for others' interests, and compassion for all creatures.

If you have an impatient nature, cultivate patience.

I steadfastly attach myself to those who are devoted to their duties, who never fall away from patience, and who take pleasure in walking the path that leads to heaven.

Properly fulfill all your duties and avoid unrighteous acts. Wait upon the gods and Brahmanas with reverence, following the scriptures.

Steadiness, cleverness, self-control, intelligence, health, patience, bravery, and being mindful of the right time and place, are eight qualities that lead to increased wealth, whether it's a small or large amount.
