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 !
