Patience is a virtue of ends

Patience is a virtue of ends, acquired by much merit and austerities. If patience tarries, cultivate quietude. What manhood is there if .you renounce work but entertain its associations through the senses? In this world of Ignorance pleasures and pains, temptations and mortifications, and similar other pains, appear as in opposition to each other. The Vedas have shown the way out by revealing the Laws and the Word—the Laws which govern the Universe, and the Word as goodness, quietude, freedom, and splendours, to which the world is tied for conscious growth into Life Divine.
