A Drop of Patience

………….….A Drop ………………….of .....…......Patience ..........…Time waits ............To manifest? ..........Time to fructify? Time between action and result? Patience is wait, in time, for desirous results? Is patience the time taken for desires to manifest? 'To actions, you have the right; not to the fruits thereof'. This line from Gita negates cause and effect..also patience The best of intended action may not get the desired results Yes actions will get results, but no rightful claims on desires! So what exactly is 'patience'- Self bait/Greed trap/ innocence? Theres no need for patient waits, if surrendered be our actions 'Act to the best of ability, leave the results as offering to partake' There is no need for patience; if the hankerings are surrendered Patience is just another name for our awaited - desirous -results Gods handed over a bottle of ambrosia and labelled it PATIENCE Drunk on patience the humankind hurries across their busy lives Patience is the carrot also the whip that humans use in disguise Stationed in space, frozen in time, self whipping, all in Patience In patience, greedy calls for desirous results, terms 'innocence' Lost innocence, lost is Dharma, lost is intuition. Why patience? Patience is the ploy of the ego -to keep the Self ever in hope Patiently waits the gambler, casts his dice, others will falter Patience of a farmer is different. The farmer is a devoted.. A farmer waters the trees and waits for seasons to turn.. The farmer accepts whatever yield from trees comes Yes in the Dharmic battlefield this is talking ideally Ideally, there is no patience needed, if no 'ego ' No space for patience needed if no futures Living in present is no space to patience The ego sets targets, says is the doer The ego then drinks from patience This is the heady concoction ! High on concepts, the ego Now claims to be sober Stop being doer for 1 Just be! None to do nothing to be done Nothing not to do Oh! That feeling When time stills ...and whispers It's all taken care of !
