participating in the knowing of a delayed action.

hey, learning is in which there is patience:-)

Patience, if you have not done, not taken the journey all along to think, test and act in your daily life on what has been said but only casually play with it and hope for something to happen, that is called laziness. The word patience in general does not fit at all in this serious and beautiful journey of life. It is a misunderstanding of direct action. It also brings in a gap between what I am now and what I shall be in future, and this gap I call it patience.

When you have done it all day long to the point there can’t be done further, you either rest in the evening or have a very deep sleep. This resting is necessary and very natural and it is not patience.

If patience is seen as a state of mind that does not resist suffering, it does not fit quite well as the word passion. Suffering as a patience implies a waiting. But suffering that knows of no gap in it is the burning passion. This burning passion is the merciless, timeless, non-divisive fact of what is and in being with the fact releases abundant energy. Otherwise, suffering is just a word.

We are putting out a very simple question. It comes as a consequence of our last thread on the roots of enquiry, but there is no need to go back and revisit that thread in order to join in with this thread. It is a new topic, a fresh start, a clean slate. At the same time, no-one is forcing you at gun-point to come along and join in; no-one is insisting that you read and respond to this thread. If you have better things to do, do them. But if you are interested in a question like this, please join in.

Probably we all know what the dictionary says about patience, that it means the ability to wait, to tolerate delay without complaint; and also that it has its root in the Latin word 'patientia' which means 'suffering'.

Then also behind the dictionary definition is the actual state of a mind that is truly patient, a mind that doesn't resist suffering.

Yay! Another fully loaded question to which Tom already has the answer. So fresh! Bursting with abstract freshness!

Patience to resist the impulse to name things.

To look without naming.

patience is listening when you are busy, for example...it is its own reward, and it has nothing to do with time or a time gap.

It is a concept and we are ready to try to make sense of it, just because it is opened as a thread. Herd mentality. I can be with the energy of impatience too. No choice.
