The most important virtue needed for self-transformation

in patience

Without patience

you will lose hope in the transformation process

As you travel the path you sometimes run into rough spots

where the foot slips and you find yourself

suddenly not on the path, and there are

wrong thoughts or words or behaviour

Patience makes you cool and calm

It makes the journey possible

The process of self-realisation is not a ten yard dash

It is the one hundred and fifty mile run,

You have to learn to pace yourself

patience teaches you to pace yourself

You can't take help from God until there is patience of this kind

Where there is patience there is peace

Where there is peace, there is love

This is a whole new experience of what it means to be human
