To have the virtue of patience, it is important to acknowledge obstacles as opportunities to strengthen you, not as indications of failure. In attempting to patiently let go of an outcome, there will be a tendency to view obstacles that begin to appear as evidence that what you are embarking upon is not working. The ego will always use such obstacles as proof to deny the existence of your connectedness to a universal energy. In doing so it attempts to regain its influence over you, which your new actions of patience and detachment are causing it to lose.
Detaching yourself from an outcome does not mean giving up on it. Determination and persistence are valuable ingredients in both testing your resolve and surmounting life’s inevitable obstacles. The message of this scroll must not be misinterpreted as an opportunity to just sit back and do nothing and everything will be taken care of It is to continue to ensure that you go about your daily routines, relative to what you are working towards, while being unconcerned yet certain of outcome.
The art of receiving immediate results for yourself through Infinite patience lies in occupying a higher state of awareness, rather than allowing yourself to feel that you are being pushed around by whims that are out of your control. Consider the difficulties that have caused you to re-evaluate your life in order to surmount them. Your reflection will no doubt confirm that each one was both timely and appropriate, although it did not seem so at the time.
Your reflection will no doubt also reveal to you that more patience would have surmounted the difficulty with less pain than your impatience gave you. However, when you are impatient to get out of something, or into something for that matter, you are more liable to compromise yourself. The fact is that every obstacle you encounter offers the opportunity to propel you to a higher state of awareness. It provides a test of your certainty of attaining what you have resolved to attain. There is no timetable when you have infinite patience and there can be no failure when you have detached yourself from how the desired result will come about.
Patience builds serenity.
Great people are serene, free from longing; they are calm, free from worry.
Being calm and joyous, without pride, one attains harmony.
Harmony is the essence of Oneness
from which immediate results derive.
