good that you are learning them well.
3. I feel I need to develop more tolerance. Sometimes I get irritated with others’ priorities over some things.
Judge not lest ye be judged is an old proverb.
More on Tolerance:
1. Tolerance and forbearance have their own rewards. Trust in the Master and in the method are essential and things will happen as per His will. In our system we do not try to
change the circumstances but mould ourselves according to it. Our system does not aim at curing anything but gives enough strength to develop higher states of consciousness.
2. Trials and tribulations are part of grhasta life. Tolerance, patience and fortitude and a host of such qualities are learnt only in the school of life and not in schools.
3. For a grhasta the problems, trials and tribulations in life are the penances and one needs to endure the same with fortitude and forbearance.
Waiting
1. Concerning the feeling of connection inside, it is something there, into the heart. When I feel it, I can meditate. It is a feeling that guides me.
That is not proper. Meditation has to be done in a sincere way whether we feel anything or not. Because meditation is a time when we wait on Master/God and we cannot put conditions for the same. It also takes for granted your capacity to judge whether there is connection or not. All that you possibly can know is in the physical plane and about the astral plane where all spiritual work is done (which over a period of time percolates to the physical plane) unless one is sensitive enough very little is known. And note no one knows fully in the realms of God.
