Patience doesn’t come overnight! Be patient! Anything that is, has to start with the self, like Chariji says! And with an acceptance and tolerance of the self, our patience would spread for things outside of us. Let us be patient with our own self, and exercise patience with ourselves, for the lack of patience in us. All that I am saying is, let us start trying it and with habit and practice, it would be a second nature, and no longer requiring the need for this exercise. I don’t say it is going to work just like that. What is the difference in the situation because of your patience? What is the difference because of your supposition that everything and everyone around you is patient and connected to the Creator, connected to the eternal source of Divinity? The circumstances, the external factors, people who force you to be patient with them – let them all be Divinised!Īfter a while, observe how you feel. Slowly spread your awareness to your outside surrounding, and suppose everything else to be absorbed in the same Source of Divinity.Connect your heart to the Infinite Source of Love & Light, the Infinite Source of Divinity within yourself, and be absorbed in it.
When the need to be patient with people and situations arises, what can we do? It is a very active process just like meditation is. At the same time, patience is NOT a passive process, definitely. Patience comes out of faith in the creator, that in the grand scheme of things, this is what would ensue and HIS will is final. Patience need to be cultivated, initially, and requires time – which tolerance can give. And we require time for that patience to sink in, within our system to be expressed. There is a great need, latent in humanity to be patient and understanding with the circumstance one is thrown in, with oneself, and others. See what underlying truth? The need to be patient, the need to be tolerant.

Patience, I feel can begin with an expression of tolerance. The lovers of God never run out of patience, for they know that time is needed for the crescent moon to become full. Impatience means to be shortsighted as to not be able to see the outcome. What does patience mean? It means to look at the thorn and see the rose, to look at the night and see the dawn. It means to look at the end of a process. (Endnote #2: “Lit.Shams Tabrizi in his Rule # 8 of Love said, “Patience does not mean to passively endure. Gamard and Farhadi, The Quatrains of Rumi, pp. So that by that vision another world may be seen by you. Go, and shut your eyes, 1 so that your heart may be looking 2 Gh.3091/v.3: “If you are an utter profligate, then flee from fools! Open the eye of your heart to the Eternal Light!” (from Rumi's ghazal no 3091, trans. “The eye of the heart knows what it has seen through His collyrium: light and mercy, all the way to the seventh heaven.” (from Rumi's ghazal no. “Those kings that have come for the sake of vision are like an illuminated eye in men’s hearts.” (from Rumi's ghazal no. Here is what Rumi said about "chashm-e dil" (among other quotes): There is in Sufism a teaching about the "eye of the heart".
Sufism does not teach about the "third eye" or ajjna chakra between the eyebrows (supposedly connected to the pineal gland) as taught in Yoga, Buddhism, and Taoism.
