There is often a big disparity between the way in which we perceive things and the way things really are.

Hard times build determination and inner strength. Through them we can also come to appreciate the uselessness of anger. Instead of getting angry nurture a deep caring and respect for troublemakers because by creating such trying circumstances they provide us with invaluable opportunities to practice tolerance and patience.

Don't compare me with Jesus. He is a great master, a great master.

A positive future cannot emerge from the mind of anger of despair

If we want spiritual development, the practice of patience is essential.
