Impatience

"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."

"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."
