CHAPTER 53
Know that tolerance is a virtue that will pull the strings of sacrificial love in you, and with every pain that is endured, with every harshness tolerated, the God in you will rise higher and will make His presence known. Intolerance will only result in irritability at first, and then an outburst - a passion of anger that will make you burn in repentance, today and tomorrow. It is only a dog that will bark when he senses an attack on him. But you, My dears, are far beyond the tolerance limits of a poor animal. Yes! You have taken the birth of a human - a human that must respond only with love that flows in his heart, a human that is born to depict every virtue of God, Himself, a human that can discriminate between right and wrong. You must be able to accept the wrongdoings of others, without a single judgment, without any blame, and without any resistance of your love for him. Tolerate the world, and they, too, will learn to tolerate you.
Be patient, and use the time to understand the worries, restlessness and behavioral patterns of others. When the God within is shaken up, unheard, and unrecognized, then how can one react to you with the sweetness of love? You, on the other hand, must at all times awaken with God inside, search for His voice that constantly prompts, and act with a mind that is as silent as the tongue, with a restraining control over all your senses that may betray you at the slightest leavage. The anger, irritability and frustration of others must be responded to with a calm silence. Yes! You must react as if the "language of anger" seems foreign to you, react with compassion and sympathy to the one who is losing his vision of reality, and with your strength and belief in the divine message of peace, you must uphold and give faith to each of these failing souls by not responding with the same anger, by staying unruffled in the midst of his temporary insanity, and by forgiving him, instantly, so that the anger in him must not linger to be remembered.
Your pain of tolerance must grow into a spontaneous, unconditional love. Tolerance, My sweet, will only result in the slow destruction of your egos, for it is only the ego that defends an attack with a counter attack, it is only your ego that shuts the pain of others, and it is only your own egos that shies away from any divine responsibility, justifying to you every reason of your imperfection. Know that you have come with simple, divine perfection - expect nothing more and behave nothing less. The joy of the mother lies in relieving the children from their pains - you, too, My child, must grow, one day, to be this mother, and learn to take the pains of others, and become fulfilled - Yes! Fulfilled, I say - Full of love and filled with God!
