Patience, Persistance, Devotion and Loyalty

A very important part of a man's existence is patience, the next being persistence and then comes devotion and then loyalty. Without these four things, no man can survive. They would constantly face problems. It doesn't essentially have to be towards God, or towards a Man/ Woman for that matter. It doesn't essentially have to be in a relationship. It has to be in the overall personality and the whole existence of a person.

Patience and persistence is not just required once one starts walking towards their goal, it also is many times required for seeking the goal itself. without patience and perseverence, nothing can be achieved and as i said it is not a part of just a relationship, its a part of everything practically. A part of cooking, a part of learning new things, a part of attaining a goal, even a part of sleeping for that matter. impatient minds are often insomniac :)

Once patience and perseverence, help one seek His/ her goal, one can then move forward to the action plan, which then requires devotion and loyalty. devotion to the action plan and loyalty to the target as well as the mentor if there is one.

update as of 14.11.08: a spiritual seeker yesterday said to me.....You can test a Guru and one genuine will prove Himself to You, but once You accept His shelter, its Your trust that matters on Your end, or else His greatest powers would be useless for You.
