“Most people want something to happen all the time. That is because they are not at peace. A shepherd, on the other hand, although vigilant, must be supremely patient, and he must be at peace with himself. That is why some of the greatest teachers and prophets were shepherds. You are restless because you are not at peace with yourself. A fire is restless. It rages and spreads, burning everything in its path. Eventually, it burns out and dies down as fast as it had started. Be tranquil as a tree. When the wind blows, swing with it; when the birds sing, enjoy the song; watch the sheep eat contently at your feet.”
