Aspire intensely without impatience

Aspire intensely, but without impatience…. The difference between intensity and impatience is very subtle—it is all a difference in vibration. It is subtle, but it makes all the difference. Intensely, but without impatience. That’s it. One must be in that state. And for a very long time, a very long time, one must be satisfied with inner results, that is, results in one’s personal and individual reactions, one’s inner contact with the rest of the world—one must not expect or be premature in wanting things to materialise. Because our hastiness usually delays things.
