A powerful Virtue
I am improving day by day in the
right knee area. I can’t wait to walk without assistance of crutch or cane.
That is already achieved, basically, but walking to me means mileage. The day will
come when I can put in a modest four or five kilometres. Only patience is
required.
Gandhi said once if you lose
patience, you lose the battle.
Patience is that special virtue.
When applied, a healing takes place in the case of illness. When applied, your
pay check will come, but you work first. And, in the case of a couple wanting a
baby, patience spells out nine moths of waiting.
Today I visited my dentist and,
in order for my teeth cleaning to take place, I was asked at the clinic to take
a seat. I simply had to wait my turn. The assistant and I had a look at photos
of a chipped tooth. Well, the dental clinic wasn’t prepared to fix the problem
right then and there. A second appointment needed to be booked for the tooth
repair.
Like anyone else I would like to
have a pronto repair job done, but the world doesn’t work that way. It calls
once again for patience. A pedestrian is patient to reach the destination.
As a neophyte monk who had just
joined in ’73, I was under the impression that I would be self-realized in a
few months. After a few months expired, things were the same, or let’s say a
gradual momentum was building up. Things take time. Krishna says, “I am time.”
May the source be with you!
