Amongst the virtues required, the paramount one is patience. We have a tendency to blame others, hold others responsible, to find a scapegoat for all our problems, worries and all that is lacking in our lives. As soon as something goes wrong, the human tendency is to incriminate someone other than oneself. To overcome this, just see Him in all others and in their actions. When you see everything, the good and the bad, as coming and originating from God. Every thought, the way someone treats you, everything that is said and done to you, all of it originates from that one divine mind, then indeed, you will see that it is futile and pointless to point the finger of blame at anyone. Leave everything to Him and realize that this life is merely a learning process. Never think that anyone acts outside of His will. Remember that all carry out His wishes and that if it is His will, then everything will fall into place for you. If it does not do so, then acceptance must be that it is not the divine will. To achieve this state, there is a necessity to have total and complete faith or overwhelming love for Him. Faith and love are the two wings with which one can fly high. The watch word is watch : Watch your thoughts, words, actions, character and your heart.
