Today, we have all the facilities readily available at hand, be it groceries, daily commodities, house help, or an electrician for repairing household appliances. And due to the waste of availability of all these things, patience often feels like a forgotten virtue.
The unnoticed habits of instant replies, quick success stories, same-day deliveries, and constant comparison through social media have made us increasingly impatient and short-tempered.
People want results immediately, whether in careers, relationships, studies, or personal growth. But life rarely moves at the speed we expect. Delays, failures, uncertainty, and waiting have become some of the biggest causes of stress in modern times.
But Gita tells us to hold our patience and not give up that easily, it does not teach people to give up or remain inactive. Instead, it advises to maintain the emotional balance, inner strength, and calmness during difficult phases of life. It reminds us that wisdom is not only about intelligence or knowledge; it is also about how patiently we handle situations beyond our control.
