Patience is supported & nurtured by a quality of forgiveness.
Do not speak about anyone who is not physically present.
We must accept the reality that the causes of impatience travel a two-way street.
We need never be bound by the limitations of our previous or current thinking, nor are we ever locked into being the person we used to be, or think we are.
So what is a good meditator? The one who meditates.
To advance spiritually requires a method of practice & determination to carry it out.
