DAY AND NIGHT

Day and Night ~ 31 ~ world for himself, for the fulfillment of such a desire has no place in the divine scheme for our world. Impatience is one of man’s greatest weaknesses. He feels that he should never have to face any phase of darkness and should receive light without waiting. This unwillingness to accept the divine scheme of God is a serious weakness. This antipathy to God’s plan is the cause of much human destruction. God wants man patiently to restrain himself from indulging in the ephemeral pleasures of the world in order that he may continue his journey towards the next world. But, in unseemly haste, he seizes upon temporary delights. Then he is unable to continue his journey onwards. It is this foible which is the cause of his being deprived of the blessings of the next world. In our present world, real success is achieved only through patience, not through haste.
