Impatience - loss of energy
Be patient, and you will live a long life. You'll say, 'But that's not possible; I have to expend so much energy putting up with difficult situations and difficult people.' No, on the contrary, you waste most energy when you are impatient. Calmness and patience strengthen vitality and prolong life. People who explode and then say, 'Ah! That feels better!' do not realize that what they consider to be better is actually a great loss. They should analyse themselves to find out what it is in them that feels better - is it their higher nature or their lower nature? And when they reflect on their explosion some time later, do they really feel pleased with themselves? Don't they tell themselves it would have been better if they had known how to control themselves? Try experimenting inside yourself to see how effective the virtue of patience is. Instead of resorting to all sorts of syrups, potions, elixirs and other beverages, drink patience! That is what will renew the powers of life within you, powers you never suspected you had.
