- "Everyone seems to have difficulty learning patience.
- This is because people are living without Knowledge.
- They are trying to establish their goals in life without Knowledge.
- They are trying to establish their primary relationships without Knowledge.
- They are even trying to be at peace without Knowledge.
- Thus they are at the mercy of the machinations and the conflicts of the mind.
- And they are at the mercy of the conflicting forces that exist within the mental environment and the physical environment.
- Thus things seem continually unstable and out of harmony.
- Great effort is exerted in building things that can fall apart in a moment, things that have no stability or permanence." [1]
"It is only when people are ambitious and impatient, when they seek to have the great rewards now instead of later, that they get into serious trouble."
