Patience


Patience is a divine virtue. Unfortunately, not only are we badly wanting in this divine virtue, but also we neglect it most foolishly.

What is patience? It is an inner assurance of God's unreserved love and unconditional guidance. Patience is God's power hidden in us to weather the teeming storms of life.
Time is a flying bird. Do you want to capture the bird and encage it? Then you need patience. Your fondest dreams will be transformed into fruitful realities if you just know the secret of growing the patience-tree in your heart.

Patience is your sincere surrender to God's Will. This surrender is by no means the effacement of the finite self which you now are, but the total transformation of your finite existence into the infinite Self.

Patience can never be imposed on you from outside. It is your own inner wealth, wisdom, peace and victory.

Patience will never tell us that something is a hopeless task. Patience will only tell us either that we are not ready or that the time is not ripe. We may have the feeling that we are ready, but we have to know that our integral being, our whole being, is not ready.

We have to feel that patience is not something passive. On the contrary, it is something dynamic. In patience we develop our inner strength, our inner will power. It is true that if we have will power we can easily acquire patience. But it is equally true that when we have patience, our inner will power develops itself in a special way.

Baba Said....

"Let us use hot water in the form of tears of joy to wash the Sadguru's feet. Let us besmear His body with sandle-paste of pure love, let us cover His body with the cloth of true faith, let us offer eight lotuses in the form of our eight Satwik emotion and fruit in the form of our concentrated mind; let us apply to His head bukka in the form of devotion, and tie the waistband of Bhakti, and place our head in His toes".

May I Answer? Devotees Asked...Guruji Answered

Question :  I have always failed miserably in my relationships because I tend to become over-possessive out of love. Will Baba help me to overcome such situations?

Answer :

Love is above possessiveness. Love does not bind people to misery. It gives more openness and understanding. Pray to Baba to give you the right direction. Our over-possessiveness in love is because of ego. Demands in relationship develop sometimes to unrealistic proportions, then the problems begin.

Baba has provided guidance to face the challenges. Baba also plays a very important role in molding my character and attitude. Baba words "SABURI" and " SHRADDHA" are simple two words but i bet the one who can master this two will be successful in the world and spirituality. However as devotee I believe that although I have not reached to that level yet, Baba is there to offer His help and shower His grace in course of time. 

Om Jai Sai
