TOLERANCE
There are three grades of tolerance:
to endure a situation, with a lot of obvious effort
to adapt and deal with a situation, using spiritual power
to pass right through it, not even noticing that something
needs tolerating
The sign of insufficient tolerance is: the minute someone says
any little thing, you start complaining or crying.
It doesn't seem right to be so sensitive
However, it isn't right to be insensitive either
Understand with love what other people are saying
Be sensitive to how others feel about what you say
Some are amazed that others take what they
say so badly. They say harsh things to others,
yet cannot tolerate being told anything themselves
Lack of tolerance creates impatience
which diminishes the spirituality,
the quality of love,
in the atmosphere
"How long do I have to go on like this?"
This is not using tolerance as a power
Remember, you are an actor on the stage of life
Step back. Play your part with detachment
Preserve in your spiritual efforts and
simply pass to the next grade!
